Abstract
This study showed that prostate rotation during needle insertion for prostate brachytherapy is relatively large and unpredictable. Locking needles reduce prostate rotation in the coronal plane, but not in the sagittal plane. Minimising this rotation is necessary for accurate seed delivery, especially when a robotic implantation technique is used.
