Interactive implantation
• As each needle or strand
of seeds is implanted,
actual position is tracked,
fed back into TPS and
dosimetry updated in real-
time
• May improve the quality
of the implant and also
avoids the
‘
learning
curve
’
seen when starting
a new brachytherapy
programme
• Disadvantage: Can take
longer to do
