Abstract
Intraoperative US guidance for cervix BT has been successfully implemented with staff and equipment from radiation oncology. Using US during every insertion has led to improved applicator selection and placement while decreasing procedure time and reducing out of department consultations. These changes have eliminated repeat insertions due to unfavorable applicator placement (as revealed on postoperative CT), thus improving department efficiency and quality of patient care.
