— Improve the accuracy of radioactive seed placement
in prostate brachytherapy in collaboration with
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center
— Mapping: pre-treatment MRSI ? intra-treatment US
— 3D prostate MRSI strongly deformed by intra-rectal coil
— Intra-treatment 3D ultrasound (US) of prostate slightly deformed by transrectal probe
— Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Image (MRSI) localizes focal areas of tumor cells
— Surgically place a higher concentration of seeds in the focal areas under guidance of trans-rectal ultrasound
