Abstract

The performance achieved when using robotic systems and image guidance for minimally-invasive brachytherapy is clinically comparable to that achieved in an open surgery procedure, while reducing the invasiveness of the procedure, improving ergonomic conditions for the clinician and reducing radiation exposure.
