A new device to stabilize templates for transperineal I-125 implants

Transperineal Iodine-125 implants of the prostate are currently being performed at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center with CT-based treatment planning and transrectal ultrasound for verification of proper needle placement in the prostate at the time of implantation. An adjustable device, the WIP...

Zusammenfassung:	Transperineal Iodine-125 implants of the prostate are currently being performed at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center with CT-based treatment planning and transrectal ultrasound for verification of proper needle placement in the prostate at the time of implantation. An adjustable device, the WIPI, has been designed to stabilize the perineal template and rectal obturator during planning and implementation of the procedure. The device is simple to use and is compatible with CT scanning, transrectal ultrasound, and the Mick applicator. Its design and key functional features are described here.
