  2. Image-guided radiation therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image-guided_radiation_therapy

    Ultrasound is used for daily patient setup. It is useful for soft tissue such as the breast and prostate. The BAT (Best Nomos) and Clarity (Elekta) systems are the two main systems currently being used. The Clarity system has been further developed to enable intra-fraction prostate motion tracking via trans-perineal imaging.

    SPs used for in situ simulation activities may require special training. [5] For teaching future healthcare professionals how to perform intimate examinations, a specially trained simulated patient may be used. Intimate examinations include breast and pelvic examination on females and urogenital, prostate and rectal examination on males.

  9. Cone beam computed tomography - Wikipedia
