Computed tomography-guided partial-breast brachytherapy using implanted catheters as fiducial markers versus co-registered magnetic resonance imaging

Partial-breast irradiation (PBI) needs accurate cavity delineation with computed tomography (CT). In perioperative PBI using multicatheter-interstitial brachytherapy (MIB), catheters implanted during surgery were enabled as fiducial markers. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can also assist delineation with CT.
