Verification of needle guidance accuracy in pelvic phantom using registered ultrasound and MRI images for intracavitary/interstitial gynecologic brachytherapy.

Conclusions: In this study, we showed that under ideal conditions, rigid registration between MRI images and US images obtained high accuracy for real-time image guidance. Additionally, registered US images provided accurate image guidance during visual needle insertion in IC/IS gynecologic brachytherapy to achieve a combination of effective visualization and image guidance.
