US-CT Fusion for Post Implant Dosimetry

Post implant dosimetry is an essential part of quality assurance after permanent seed prostate brachytherapy. CT imaging is the standard of assessment but due to contouring uncertainties, MR-CT fusion is preferred. This is not always available due to financial restrictions. This study explores the possibility of post implant US-CT fusion to improve contouring accuracy and potentially replace the use of MR-CT fusion.
