title: "C" arm guidance in interstitial brachytherapy of pelvic malignancies.
abstract: Since 1979 more than 50 transperineal interstitial implants, both removable and permanent, have been performed at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. The "C" arm of the mobile image-intensifier television unit Siemens Mobile 2 was used to guide the placement of the needles and was found to be useful in achieving accurate implantation.
