Description

The implementation of this technique leads to a conformational approach of the prostate cancer treatment, by association of brachytherapy and external radiotherapy. The next advance will consist in replacing the classical marking by orthogonal images by a complete visual simulation for the preliminary dosimetry of brachytherapy and external radiotherapy. (N.C.)
