Comparison of post-implant dosimetrics between intraoperatively built custom-linked seeds and loose seeds by sector analysis at 24 hours and 1 month for localized prostate cancer.

Conclusions: In this retrospective single institutional study, there was a decrease in the SD of the dosimetric parameters in the IBCL group, and it was statistically significant in change in the variables between 24 hours and 1 month (F-test). The use of IBCL seeds significantly decreased PV150, UV150, and UD30, and significantly improved HI, without lowering PD90 or PD100. PMID: 33293970 [PubMed]
