A new device for prostate localization in radiotherapy treatment planning.
Conventional port planning techniques for radiation therapy do not adequately determine the superior and inferior limits of prostatic tumor. A localization device has been devised which provides better boost volume localization. The accuracy of this device has been confirmed by computed axial tomography.
