Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for localization of the prostatic apex: comparison to computed tomography (CT) and urethrography
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: It is necessary to include the entire prostate in the high dose treatment volume when planning radical radiation for patients with prostate cancer. We prospectively compared magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to computed tomography (CT) and urethrography as means of localizing the prostatic apex.
