In France in 2012, 25% to 30% of the 40,000 prostate cancer cases were treated with brachytherapy. During this procedure, the clinician inserts manually about thirty needles into the prostate through the perineum using ultrasound images to locate the prostate and the needles. Radioactive seeds are released into the prostate at specific pre-planned locations using needle’s cannula. The success of this operation is closely related to the distribution and homogeneity of the radioactive dose distribution in the prostate, therefore the precision with which the seeds are positioned. This accuracy is affected by prostate motions and deformations due to the insertion of the needles and their bending during insertion. This work aims at increasing th...
