    Abstract: The invention relates to a system (10) for providing an object (2) in a body (1), a processor (18) arranged to be used in the system (10) for providing an object (2) in a body (1), an instrument (12) for providing an object (2) into a body (1), a method for detecting a providing of an object (2) in a body (1) and a software product for detecting a providing of an object (2) in a body (1). In order to allow for a providing of an object (2) in a body (1) and a detecting hereof while avoiding the drawbacks on the known approaches, e.g. giving an opportunity for reliable localization in ultrasound images used for real-time monitoring of a medical procedure with reduced error proneness to electromagnetic interference, the invention utilizes the finding that the characteristics of a reception or transmission of an ultrasound transducer (24, 26) are influenced by the surrounding environment of the ultrasound transducer (24, 26). By detecting changes in the characteristics the presence or absence of an object (2) to be provided at the ultrasound transducer (24, 26) is determined.

    Abstract: When performing a therapeutic procedure, like a high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy, an elongate introduction element is introduced into a body, a temperature is determined along the introduction element, and it is determined which part of the introduction element is within the body based on the determined temperature. A therapeutic procedure is performed by using the introduction element depending on the determination which part of the introduction element is within the body. This can ensure that the therapeutic procedure is only performed within the body, thereby reducing the likelihood of involuntary affecting, for instance, a patient's outer skin, especially by ionizing radiation which may be used during a HDR brachytherapy.

    Abstract: A system (100) for and a method of visualizing quality information to a person performing a procedure of temporarily or permanently placing energy provision sources in a part of a body of a living being are provided. The body comprises a volume of interest. The system (100) comprising an input (104) for receiving a treatment plan (102), a data storage (108) for storing positions (P1, P2) of previously placed energy provision sources, a sub-system (106) for determining a shape and a position of the volume of interest, a tracking system (107) for obtaining tracking information relating to a placement tool for guiding a to-be-placed energy provision source towards a specific position, a processing device (110) configured for calculating a dose-volume histogram (114) for the volume of interest, and a display device (112) for presenting the dose-volume histogram (114) to the person.

    Abstract: A treatment device (100) and a treatment system are provided. The treatment device (100) is suitable for temporarily or permanently placing a therapeutic device (112) in a part of a corpus of a living being. The treatment device (100) comprises an elongated body (102) for being inserted in the part of the corpus. The elongated body (102) comprises a channel (110) and an impedance sensor element (104). The channel (110) is for guiding the therapeutic device (112) to a specific position (PI) within the channel (110) and/or for holding the therapeutic device (112) at a specific position (PI) within the channel (110). The impedance sensor element (1040) is configured to be coupled to a detection device for detecting the presence of the therapeutic device (112) at the specific position (PI) on basis of a change of a signal provided by the impedance sensor element (104).
