Anatomical and dosimetric assessment of the prostate apex: A pilot comparison of image ‐guided transperineal ultrasound to conventional computed tomography simulation
ConclusionsThis study demonstrates a difference in anatomical delineation of prostate apex position between CT imaging compared to TPUS, corresponding to a statistically significant difference in apex point dose. Further analysis will determine whether this translates to a clinically significant difference in outcomes.
