Abstract
The relatively high linear energy transfer of Auger electrons, which can cause clustered DNA damage and hence efficient cell death, makes Auger emitters excellent candidates for attacking metastasized tumors. Moreover, gammas or positrons are usually emitted along with the Auger electrons, providing the possibility of theragnostic applications. Despite the promising properties of Auger electrons, only a few radiopharmaceuticals employing Auger emitters have been developed so far. This is most likely explained by the short ranges of these electrons, requiring the delivery of the Auger emitters to crucial cell parts such as the cell nucleus. In this work, we combined the Auger emitter 125I and ultrasmall gold nanoparticles to prepare a novel radiopharmaceutical. The 125I labeled gold nanoparticles were shown to accumulate at the cell nucleus, leading to a high tumor-killing efficiency in both 2D and 3D tumor cell models. The results from this work indicate that ultrasmall nanoparticles, which passively accumulate at the cell nucleus, have the potential to be applied in targeted radionuclide therapy. Even better tumor-killing efficiency can be expected if tumor-targeting moieties are conjugated to the nanoparticles.

Effect of neoadjuvant iodine-125 brachytherapy upon resection of glioma. BMC Cancer 2022; 22:397. [PMID: 35413858 PMCID: PMC9004181 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-022-09504-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2021] [Accepted: 04/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Background A more extensive surgical resection of glioma contributes to improved overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). However, some patients miss the chance of surgical resection when the tumor involves critical structures. Purpose The present study aimed to assess the feasibility of neoadjuvant 125I brachytherapy followed by total gross resection for initially inoperable glioma. Methods Six patients diagnosed with inoperable glioma due to invasion of eloquent areas, bihemispheric diffusion, or large tumor volume received 125I brachytherapy. Surgical resection was performed when the tumor shrank, allowing a safe resection, assessed by the neurosurgeons. Patients were followed up after surgery. Results Shrinkage of the tumor after adjuvant 125I brachytherapy enabled a total gross resection of all six patients. Four patients were still alive at the last follow-up, with the longest survival time of more than 50 months, two of which returned to everyday life with a KPS of 100. Another two patients had neurological injuries with KPSs of 80 and 50, respectively. One patient with grade II glioma died 34 months, and another with grade IV glioma died 40 months after the combined therapy. Conclusions In the present study, the results demonstrated that 125I brachytherapy enabled a complete resection of patients with initially unresectable gliomas. 125I brachytherapy may offer a proper neoadjuvant therapy method for glioma.

Abstract
Radioactive iodine-125 (I-125) is the most widely used radioactive sealed source for interstitial permanent brachytherapy (BT). BT has the exceptional ability to deliver extremely high doses that external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) could never achieve within treated lesions, with the added benefit that doses drop off rapidly outside the target lesion by minimizing the exposure of uninvolved surrounding normal tissue. Spurred by multiple biological and technological advances, BT application has experienced substantial alteration over the past few decades. The procedure of I-125 radioactive seed implantation evolved from ultrasound guidance to computed tomography guidance. Compellingly, the creative introduction of 3D-printed individual templates, BT treatment planning systems, and artificial intelligence navigator systems remarkably increased the accuracy of I-125 BT and individualized I-125 ablative radiotherapy. Of note, utilizing I-125 to treat carcinoma in hollow cavity organs was enabled by the utility of self-expandable metal stents (SEMSs). Initially, I-125 BT was only used in the treatment of rare tumors. However, an increasing number of clinical trials upheld the efficacy and safety of I-125 BT in almost all tumors. Therefore, this study aims to summarize the recent advances of I-125 BT in cancer therapy, which cover experimental research to clinical investigations, including the development of novel techniques. This review also raises unanswered questions that may prompt future clinical trials and experimental work.

Abstract
Immediate intervention is needed for aortoesophageal fistulas (AEF), a rare but highly lethal cause of massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Emergent thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is considered first-line treatment for massive bleeding from AEFs. We describe an unusual and challenging case of TEVAR coverage of an AEF involving the central aortic arch immediately followed by in vivo endograft fenestration to regain arch vessel perfusion. In vivo fenestration, currently a procedure for emergency or investigational purposes only, was shown to be life saving in our case. The main complications associated with the procedure included stroke and infection, requiring esophagectomy and cervical diversion as well as ongoing antibiotic treatment.

Abstract
Purpose To further evaluate the efficacy and safety of computed tomography (CT)-guided iodine 125 (125I) brachytherapy to treat locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after progression of concurrent radiochemotherapy (CCRT). Methods This study obtained written consent from all patients and was approved by our institution. From January 2006 to June 2018, 210 NSCLC patients (progression of first-line CCRT) were retrospectively recruited and then divided into two groups. A total of 116 patients were given CT-guided 125I brachytherapy and second-line chemotherapy (group A), and 94 were treated with second-line chemotherapy alone (group B). Results In group A, local response rate (LRR) within 3 years was significantly better (P<0.05). Mean survival time [progression-free survival time (PFST) and overall survival (OS)] was 15.1±1.4 months and 21.2±1.6 months in group A compared with 10.0±1.4 months and 16.2±1.7 months in group B (PFST: P<0.01, HR=1.472, 95% CI 1.097–1.975; OS: P = 0.036, HR=1.342, 95% CI 1.005–1.791). Tumor size and No. of first cycle chemotherapy were independent factors that affected survival, ≤3cm largest tumor diameter and more than 4 first cycles of chemotherapy showed longer PFST and OS (P<0.05). Tumor-related clinical symptoms were relieved in group A (P<0.01). No serious complications occurred in the two groups. Conclusion 125I brachytherapy is effective and safe in locally advanced NSCLC after progression of CCRT.

Abstract
To investigate the efficacy of 125I seed implantation in the treatment regimen of pelvic recurrence after early cervical cancer surgery and to analyse prognostic factors. To evaluate efficacy and analyse prognostic factors of 125I seed implantation for pelvic recurrence after early cervical cancer surgery. A prospective study was conducted on 62 patients who experienced pelvic recurrence after early cervical cancer surgery between August 2005 and September 2015. The 62 patients were treated and assessed in 2 groups (n = 30). All 62 patients were randomized into two groups that received two different treatment regimens: the treatment group (n = 30), which received 125I particle implantation therapy, and the control group (n = 32), which received whole-pelvic irradiation using the anteroposterior/posteroanterior field and cisplatin-based concurrent chemoradiation therapy. The efficacy/efficiency of 125I seed implantation and prognostic factors were analysed by logistic regression. Overall survival was determined by Kaplan-Meier analysis. Multivariate analysis results were obtained by the Cox proportional hazards regression model. The effective control rates at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months were 76.7%, 80.0%, 83.3%, and 86.7% in the 125I particle implantation group. The total effective control rates at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months were 65.6%, 65.5%, 62.5%, and 71.9% in the chemoradiotherapy group. Significant differences were observed between the two groups. The overall survival rates at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years and the median overall were 96.7%, 93.3%, 86.7%, 71.9%, 65.6% and 4.34 years, respectively, in the 125I seed implantation group and 81.3%, 71.9%, 62.5%, 56.3%, 53.1% and 3.59 years, respectively, in the control group. There were statistically significant differences in survival rates depending on the diameter of the largest recurrent pelvic tumour (χ2 = 6.611, P = 0.010). The multivariate analysis showed that the survival rates were related to the diameter of the largest recurrent pelvic tumour (χ2 = 4.538, P = 0.033). 125I implantation is an effective, safe, and promising method for the treatment of pelvic recurrence after early cervical cancer surgery. The diameter of the recurrent pelvic tumour was identified as a significant independent prognostic factor in patients who received 125I implantation.

Abstract
Objectives: To determine whether the minimum apparent diffusion coefficient (minADC) value can stratify survival in patients with glioma before 125I brachytherapy. Methods: The study was approved by the Institutional Review Board, and the requirement for informed consent was waived. Twenty-three patients (16 male, 7 female; median age, 48 years) with high-grade glioma (HGG) (n=9) or recurrence after multimodal treatment (n=14) were included in this study. minADC values were obtained before 125I implantation. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed with Cox proportional hazards regression models and the Kaplan-Meier method with the log-rank test. Results: For 125I-treated patients, the hazard ratio for OS in patients with ADC≥1.0*10^-3 mm2·sec-1 (high minADC) versus ADC<1.0*10^-3 mm2·sec-1 (low minADC) was 0.220 (95% confidence interval: 0.066, 0.735). The median OS was 12 months for patients with high minADC values and 6.0 months for those with low minADC values, and the differences were significant (p=0.032). The median PFS was 12 months for patients with high minADC values and 4 months for those with low minADC values. Significant differences were found in the long-rank test (p=0.013). The multivariate analysis results showed that minADC pre-125I implantation was an independent predictor of OS and PFS in patients receiving 125I brachytherapy. Conclusions: Pre-125I implantation ADC analysis can stratify prognosis in 125I-treated patients with glioma, which may aid in choosing a suitable therapy for glioma patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to explore the feasibility and clinical effectiveness of percutaneous CT-guided iodine-125 (¹²⁵I) brachytherapy combined with chemotherapy for the treatment of patients with unresectable or locally advanced pancreatic carcinoma (PC). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 66 patients with Stage III and IV PC who had received chemotherapy. A total of 35 (53%) patients receiving 125I brachytherapy and chemotherapy (gemcitabine + cisplatin, GP) were classified as Group A, and 31 (47%) patients who received GP chemotherapy alone were categorized as Group B. The evaluated indications were local control rate (LCR), local progression-free survival (LPFS), overall survival (OS), treatment-related complications, and the degree of symptom relief. Kaplan-Meier curves, log-rank test and Cox regression models were generated and used for further analysis to identify predictors of outcomes. RESULTS The median follow-up time was 6.00±0.84 months. The 1-, 3-, 6-, 12- and 18-month LCRs for Group A were 100% (35/35), 89.3% (25/28), 71.4% (15/21), 37.5% (3/8) and 33.3% (1/3), respectively; and those for Group B were 87.1% (27/31), 69.6% (16/23), 41.2% (7/17), 14.3% (1/7) and 0% (0/3), respectively. The LCR differed at 1-, 3- and 6-months (P = 0.032; P = 0.009; P = 0.030; respectively). The median LPFS was 7.00±0.30 months and 5.00±0.75 months for Groups A and B (P = 0.023), respectively; however, the median OS of the groups were not significantly different (8.00±0.77 months vs. 6.00±1.04 months. P = 0.917). No life-threatening complications occurred during or after the procedures. Patients in Group A experienced better pain control and relief of abdominal distension than those in Group B. CONCLUSION CT-guided 125I brachytherapy is a feasible, safe, and valuable treatment for patients with unresectable PC.

Abstract
Aims This study aims to observe the preliminary clinical efficacy of percutaneous interstitial brachytherapy using iodine-125 seeds for the treatment of advanced malignant lung tumors. Subjects and Methods This retrospective study enrolled 24 patients in our hospital with advanced malignant lung tumors between June 2013 and November 2017. Computed tomography (CT)-guided iodine-125 seed implantation therapy was administered to these patients. All patients were followed up at 3, 6, and 12 months after the operation. The clinical efficacy was evaluated by CT. Results Among the 24 patients, the objective response rates at 3, 6, and 12 months after the procedure were 50.0%, 50.0%, and 33.3%, respectively. Recent occurrence of adverse reactions were observed, including four cases of pneumothorax, three cases of hemoptysis, and two cases of particle displacement. Conclusions CT-guided percutaneous interstitial brachytherapy with iodine-125 seeds can be used for the treatment of lung malignant tumors. Its clinical curative effect is remarkable and it results in limited trauma, reducing the incidence of adverse reactions and improving patient quality of life.

Permanent iodine-125 brachytherapy for patients with progressive or recurrent high-grade gliomas. BMC Cancer 2020; 20:591. [PMID: 32580723 PMCID: PMC7315528 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-020-07086-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2020] [Accepted: 06/17/2020] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The prognosis of patients with progressive or recurrent high-grade gliomas (HGGs) after surgery remains poor. Iodine-125 brachytherapy is emerging as a salvage method for the treatment of gliomas. This study aimed to investigate whether permanent iodine-125 brachytherapy could be used as an effective therapeutic method even without radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy for progressive or recurrent HGG after gross total resection. Methods Between March 2004 and August 2016, 58 patients with progressive or recurrent HGG after gross total resection were included in this study. Twenty-nine patients underwent radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy and then permanent iodine-125 brachytherapy (SRCI group). Twenty-nine patients underwent permanent iodine-125 brachytherapy alone (SI group). Follow-up was carried out at 1, 3, and 6 months and then at 1, 2, 3, and 5 years after iodine-125 implantation. The median overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), procedure-related complications and clinical outcomes were evaluated. Results No procedure-related fatal events happened. The temporary morbidity rate was 11.9%. The median OS and PFS for patients in the SI group were 22 and 8 months compared with 21 and 7 months in the SRCI group. No significant differences were found. Age and Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) were independent prognostic factors for OS. Age, KPS and histology were independent prognostic factors for PFS. Conclusions Permanent iodine-125 brachytherapy could be used as an effective therapeutic method even without radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy for progressive or recurrent HGG after gross total resection.

[PMID: 32513276 PMCID: PMC7282063 DOI: 10.1186/s13014-020-01586-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2020] [Accepted: 05/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Background At present, the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma is extremely challenging. In this study, we used a novel three-dimensional non-coplanar template (3DNPT) combined with open MR to guide 125I seed implantation for recurrent glioblastoma. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, accuracy, and effectiveness of this technique. Methods Twenty-four patients of recurrent glioblastoma underwent 3DNPT with open MR-guided 125I brachytherapy from August 2017 to January 2019. Preoperative treatment plan and 3DNPT were made according to enhanced isovoxel T1-weighted MR images. 125I seeds were implanted using 3DNPT and 1.0-T open MR imaging guidance. Dosimetry verification was performed after brachytherapy based on postoperative CT/MR fusion images. Preoperative and postoperative dosimetry parameters of D90, V100, V200, conformity index (CI), external index (EI) were compared. The objective response rate (ORR) at 6 months and 1-year survival rate were calculated. Median overall survival (OS) measured from the date of brachytherapy was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method. Results There were no significant differences between preoperative and postoperative dosimetry parameters of D90, V100, V200, CI, EI (P > 0.05). The ORR at 6 months was 75.0%. The 1-year survival rate was 58.3%. Median OS was 12.9 months. One case of small amount of epidural hemorrhage occurred during the procedure. There were 3 cases of symptomatic brain edema after brachytherapy treatment, including grade three toxicity in 1 case and grade two toxicity in 2 cases. The three patients were treated with corticosteroid for 2 to 4 weeks. The clinical symptoms related to brain edema were significantly alleviated thereafter. Conclusions 3DNPT combined with open MR-guided 125I brachytherapy for circumscribed recurrent glioblastoma is feasible, effective, and with low risk of complications. Postoperative dosimetry matched the preoperative treatment plan. The described method can be used as a novel implantation technique for 125I brachytherapy in the treatment of recurrent gliomas. Trial registration The study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University (NSFC:NO.2017–058), registered 1st July 2017.

Safety and efficacy of 125I brachytherapy for bilateral lung recurrences from hepatocellular carcinoma after resection or ablation. J Cancer Res Clin Oncol 2019; 145:1907-1916. [PMID: 31161374 DOI: 10.1007/s00432-019-02943-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2019] [Accepted: 05/21/2019] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of 125I brachytherapy to treat bilateral lung recurrences from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after resection or ablation. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively recruited 95 patients with bilateral lung recurrences from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after resection or ablation who had received 3-6-month sorafenib with or without stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), from October 2011 to January 2015; patients were then randomly divided into two groups, 44 patients received computed tomography (CT)-guided 125I brachytherapy (group A), and 51 patients were treated with supportive and symptomatic treatments (group B). RESULTS The median survival time was 19 months (range of 3-36 months). The local response rate (LRR) at 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36 months in group A was 81.8%, 65.9%, 59.1%, 45.0%, 38.6%, 22.7%, 11.4%, respectively, and 64.7%, 47.1%, 33.3%, 25.4%, 15.7%, 11.7%, 7.8%, respectively, in group B (P < 0.05). The mean progression-free survival time (PFST) and overall survival (OS) of group A were significantly longer than those of group B. Alpha fetoprotein (AFP) and tumor size were independent factors that affected the PFST and OS, normal AFP levels and less than 1-cm tumor diameter had better PFST and OS (P < 0.05). No massive bleeding or serious complications occurred. CONCLUSION CT-guided 125I brachytherapy is safe and effective for the treatment of bilateral lung recurrences from HCC after resection or ablation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of computed tomography (CT)-guided 125I brachytherapy alone in improving the survival and quality of life of patients with unresectable locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after one cycle of first-line chemotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Sixteen patients with locally advanced NSCLC were treated with CT-guided 125I brachytherapy after one cycle of first-line chemotherapy (group A). Sixteen patients who received only best supportive care (group B) were matched up with the patients in group A. Primary end point included survival, and secondary end point included assessment of safety, effectiveness of CT-guided 125I brachytherapy, and improvement in the quality of life. RESULTS The two groups were well balanced in terms of age, disease histology, tumor stage, tumor location, and performance status (P>0.05). The median follow-up time was 16 months (range, 3-30). The total tumor response rate was 75.0% in group A, which was significantly higher than that in group B (0.0%) (P<0.01). The median progression-free survival time was 4.80 months for patients in group A and 1.35 months for patients in group B (P<0.001). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the median survival time of group A was 9.4±0.3 months versus 8.4±0.1 months in group B (P=0.013). Tumor-related symptoms of patients were significantly relieved, and the quality of life was markedly improved in group A than in group B. CONCLUSION CT-guided 125I brachytherapy improved the survival of patients with locally advanced NSCLC and quality of life after one cycle of first-line chemotherapy compared with best supportive care.

CT-guided 125I brachytherapy in the treatment of distant metastases in the oral cavity and maxillofacial region. Transl Oncol 2016; 10:90-98. [PMID: 27992832 PMCID: PMC5175989 DOI: 10.1016/j.tranon.2016.11.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2016] [Revised: 11/28/2016] [Accepted: 11/28/2016] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to evaluate the feasibility and clinical effectiveness of CT-guided 125I brachytherapy for distant oral and maxillofacial metastases. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 65 patients with 84 distant oral and maxillofacial metastases. Thirty-one patients with 38 lesions received 125I brachytherapy (group A) and 34 with 46 lesions received external beam radiotherapy (EBRT; group B). RESULTS Median follow-up time was 16 months. The 3-, 6-, 12-, 18-, and 24-month local control rates for group A were 83.9%, 75.9%, 66.7%, 38.4%, and 25.0%, respectively; for group B they were 76.5%, 62.5%, 43.8%, 25.0%, and 0.0%, respectively (P<.05); the median local tumor progression-free survival times were 14 and 9 months, respectively. Group A had a better local tumor progression-free survival (LTPFS) relative to group B (P<.001; HR, 6.961 [95%CI, 2.109, 9.356]). Cox proportional hazards regression analysis indicated that 125I brachytherapy, tumor size, and primary pathological type were the independent factors affecting LTPFS. Additionally, 125I brachytherapy showed better performance in relieving patient clinical symptoms relative to EBRT (P<.05). Group A also had fewer complications than group B, especially regarding grade 3/4 complications according to Radiation Therapy Oncology Group grading criteria. Mean overall survival times in groups A and B were 17.1 and 14.8 months, respectively. CONCLUSION CT-guided 125I brachytherapy is feasible and safe for distant oral and maxillofacial metastases; it achieved a better local control rate, longer LTPFS and fewer complications without compromising overall survival compared with EBRT.

Abstract
To investigate the safety and effectiveness of computed tomography (CT)-guided I seed implantation for locally advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after progression of concurrent radiochemotherapy (CCRT).We reviewed 78 locally advanced NSCLC patients who had each one cycle of first-line CCRT but had progressive disease identified from January 2006 to February 2015 at our institution. A total of 37 patients with 44 lesions received CT-guided percutaneous I seed implantation and second-line chemotherapy (group A), while 41 with 41 lesions received second-line chemotherapy (group B).Patients in group A and B received a total of 37 and 41 first cycle of CCRT treatment. The median follow-up was 19 (range 3-36) months. After the second treatment, the total response rate (RR) in tumor response accounted for 63.6% in group A, which was significantly higher than that of group B (41.5%) (P = 0.033). The median progression-free survival time (PFST) was 8.00 ± 1.09 months and 5.00 ± 0.64 months in groups A and B (P = 0.011). The 1-, 2-, and 3-year overall survival (OS) rates for group A were 56.8%, 16.2%, and 2.7%, respectively. For group B, OS rates were 36.6%, 9.8%, and 2.4%, respectively. The median OS time was 14.00 ± 1.82 months and 10.00 ± 1.37 months for groups A and B, respectively (P = 0.059). Similar toxicity reactions were found in both groups. Tumor-related clinical symptoms were significantly reduced and the patients' quality of life was obviously improved.CT-guided I seed implantation proved to be potentially beneficial in treating localized advanced NSCLC; it achieved good local control rates and relieved clinical symptoms without increasing side effects.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate seed stability after permanent implantation in the parotid gland and periparotid region via a three-dimensional reconstruction of CT data. Material and methods Fifteen patients treated from June 2008 to June 2012 at Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology for parotid gland tumors with postoperative adjunctive 125I interstitial brachytherapy were retrospectively reviewed in this study. Serial CT data were obtained during follow-up. Mimics and Geomagic Studio software were used for seed reconstruction and stability analysis, respectively. Results Seed loss and/or migration outside of the treated area were absent in all patients during follow-up (23–71 months). Total seed cluster volume was maximized on day 1 post-implantation due to edema and decreased significantly by an average of 13.5 % (SD = 9.80 %; 95 % CI, 6.82–17.68 %) during the first two months and an average of 4.5 % (SD = 3.60 %; 95 % CI, 2.29–6.29 %) during the next four months. Volume stabilized over the subsequent six months. Conclusions 125I seed number and location were stable with a general volumetric shrinkage tendency in the parotid gland and periparotid region. Three-dimensional seed reconstruction of CT images is feasible for visualization and verification of implanted seeds in parotid brachytherapy.
