Abstract
There is significant immediate edema with prostate brachytherapy. This affects the dosimetry of the implant substantially. Because of this edema, our planning for brachytherapy is done on the postneedle implant volume. Quality assurance studies should be done on the same day as the implant to avoid substantial overestimation of dosimetric parameters.
