Abstract
We have developed a new interstitial HDR brachytherapy technique for the treatment of prostate cancer using CT based 3D planning after transrectal implantation of four non-parallel needles. CT based needle reconstruction, target definition, evaluation and documentation, including DVHs and 3D imaging, is a feasible, safe and well tolerated treatment concept.
