Abstract
The purpose of this project is to devise a solution that will enable physicians, medical physicists and dosimetrists to quantitatively evaluate the success of prostate brachytherapy procedures. It is proposed that a simple ultrasound/CT image fusion solution can be developed and implemented to improve the current post-surgical evaluation process
