摘要： Methods and apparatus are provided for improved brachytherapy treatment of prostate disease. The apparatus comprises a needle template mount for use with standard brachytherapy apparatus. The mount provides for angular reorientation of a needle template with respect to an ultrasound probe during brachytherapy administration. Angular reorientation is expected to beneficially overcome anatomical constraints, such as skeletal structures, that may limit a medical practitioner's ability to deliver radioactive brachytherapy seeds into a prostate in proper alignment. The mount comprises an arc slot in which the template may translate to achieve angular reorientation. A guide tube is also provided to ensure straight advancement of brachytherapy needles.

摘要： The framing square may comprise a square, a carrier, and a laser distance meter. The framing square may be a tool for measuring a right angle. The square may be a metal armature comprising two arms that form the right angle. The carrier may slide in a carrier located on a first arm. The laser distance meter may be coupled to the carrier and may optically measure a separation distance between the first arm and a first object. A second arm may be placed adjacent to a second object. Two separation distance measurements from different positions on the first arm may determine if the first object is perpendicular to the second object, even when the first arm is not in contact with the first object.

摘要： Apparatus and methods for depositing radioactive seeds into a patient's prostate are provided that include impedance measuring circuitry for detecting whether the distal end of an elongated needle extends into a patient's bladder. The elongated needle includes two conductive traces and a lumen adapted to receive a column of radioactive seeds and spacers. The impedance measuring circuitry is coupled to the conductive traces of the elongated needle and provides a display indicative of the monitored impedance.

摘要： Methods and apparatus are provided for brachytherapy treatment of prostate disease. The apparatus comprises a housing, a plunger, a needle, and a lock. The plunger is rigidly affixed to the housing. The lock selectively restricts motion of the needle relative to the plunger. The needle comprises a screw thread that engages the housing or plunger. Rotation of the needle with respect to the housing/plunger causes distal advancement or proximal retraction of the needle with respect to the plunger, providing improved control over delivery of radioactive seeds to a diseased portion of a prostate.

摘要： Methods and apparatus are provided for improved administration of brachytherapy in the treatment of prostate disease. More particularly, a prostate visualization device is provided comprising a catheter coupled to at least one deployable member at the distal end of the catheter. The deployable member is preferably manufactured from a shape memory alloy having a petal-shaped configuration suitable for engaging and defining the proximal region of a patient's bladder. The deployable member may comprise tubing filled with air or other radiopaque agents to facilitate ultrasonic imaging of the deployable members near the bladder/prostate junction.
