Abstract

There has been increased interest in implementing image-guided brachytherapy to better define the structures of interest and assess the radiation dose distribution in tumors and surrounding normal tissues. This is particularly helpful in the treatment of pelvic malignancies such as cervix cancer and prostate cancer, in which the tumor lies in close relationship to the bladder and rectosigmoid. This provides a forum for the collaboration of diagnostic radiologists and radiation oncologists.
