Observed high incidence of prostatic calculi with the potential to act as natural fiducials for prostate image guided radiotherapy
Purpose: This study aims to quantify the incidence and distribution of prostatic calculi in a population of prostate radiotherapy patients and assess their potential role in prostate image guided radiotherapy (IGRT). Methods & materials: A retrospective analysis of trans-rectal ultrasound (TRUS)...
