Title: "Real-time HDR Planning for Prostates using Varian Vitesse 2.0"
One approach to the process - Real time simulation and brachytherapy treatment planning that speeds up prostate cancer treatments and potentially reduces the time patients need to spend in hospital. Vitesse 2.0 enables clinicians to develop treatment plans that show the locations of radiation sources and dose distribution, using ultrasound images generated in hte operating room rather than taking the time to move the patient to another room with CT scanner for x-ray images. Afterward, the plan can be imported in BrachyVision.
