Transperineal seed-implantation guided by biplanar transrectal ultrasound.
A new method for precise transperineal placement of therapeutic sources in prostatic cancer is described. The method is a modification of the technique described in 1983 by Holm and coworkers. Insertion of needles is monitored by transverse as well as longitudinal transrectal ultrasound.
