Brachytherapy:
Brachytherapy is a radiotherapy, using radioactive sources positioned within or close to the treatment volume. It is also known as internal radiotherapy.
Answer: Magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI) .
The specific imaging modality is used to implant brachytherapy seed into the prostate , is Magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI).
Three dimensional imaging technologies widened the scope and accuracy of Brachytherapy. Ultrasonography, CT scan also used for this procedure. CT scan have a limitation that , it is not good for delineation as the soft tissue visualization is not adequate, so it can't be used to implant brachytherapy seed into prostate. Many studies show that comparing with Ultrasonography or TRUS ( Trans rectal Ultrasonography), MRI is more useful in visualising the more anatomical details of Prostate.

A test for measurement of level of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) is a commonly used screening procedure for prostate cancer. Men with PSA levels greater than 10 nanograms per millilitre (ng/ml) (S) have 60% chance of prostate cancer (C), men whose PSA levels are between 4 ng/ml and 10 ng/ml (S) have 25% chance of having prostate cancer (C) and for men whose PSA levels are less than 4ng/ml (S), the risk of developing prostate cancer is 10% (C) Suppose...

Iridium-192 is one radioisotope used in brachytherapy, in which a radioactive source is placed inside a patient's body to treat cancer. Brachytherapy allows the use of a higher than normal dose to be placed near the tumor while lowering the risk of damage to healthy tissue. Iridium-192 is often used in the head or breast. Use the radioactive decay curve of iridium-192 to answer the three questions. us Dobi lio in 100 Ir the initial sample is 6.75 . what...

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test is a common screening test used for detecting prostate cancer. From Harvard Medical School “Prostate Knowledge” webpage. Is PSA reliable? Although PSA testing can help catch prostate cancer at an early stage, having an elevated PSA (generally considered more than 4 ng/ml) doesn’t necessarily mean that a man has cancer. Noncancerous conditions, including benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or an enlarged prostate, and prostatitis, can raise PSA levels. In fact, studies have shown that about 75% of...

A prostate specific antigen
(PSA) test is a quick screening test for prostate cancer. A
researcher wants to evaluate it using two groups. Group A consists
of 1500 individuals who had biopsy-proven adenocarcinoma of the
prostrate while group B consists of 3000 age and race-matched
individuals all of whom showed no cancer at biopsy. The results of
the PSA screening test is each group is shown in the table below.

Research a common modality that is used in rehabilitation. How does Ultrasound work? NOT the ultrasound that produces an image such as is done to look at a fetus/baby in the womb. What are the common injuries or conditions that Ultrasound is used for? Are there any contraindications that would prevent the use of Ultrasound?

What does “genetically tagging” mean? Why is this useful for imaging a specific protein? How would you “tag” a protein of interest so that you could “see” it in a live cell? Draw a diagram to illustrate if needed.
