Intraoperative segmentation of iodine and palladium radioactive sources in C-arm images
Dynamic dosimetry is becoming the standard to evaluate the quality of radioactive implants during brachytherapy. For this, it is essential to obtain a 3D visualization of the implanted seeds and their relative position to the prostate. A method was developed to obtain a robust and precise segmentation of seeds in C-arm images, and this approach was tested using clinical datasets.
