摘要: Modern HDR brachytherapy treatment for prostate cancer based on the 3D ultrasound (US) plays increasingly important role. The purpose of this study is to investigate possible patient movement and anatomy alteration between clinical image set acquisition, made after needle implantation, irradiation, their influence quality treatment.
