PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE Permanent seed Low-Dose-Rate brachytherapy is planned and delivered using transrectal ultrasound (TRUS). Post-implant evaluation for quality assurance is usually performed using Computed Tomography (CT). Registration of the CT images with MRI reduces subjectivity in contouring by improving prostate edge detection. We hypothesized that a set of TRUS images post procedure may provide the same benefit.
