You are invited to attend a clinical workshop focused on improving your treatment planning and delivery skills using real-time Low Dose Rate (LDR) Prostate Seed Brachytherapy. This Brachytherapy solution offers a real-time workflow for LDR seed prostate brachytherapy. Seed placement and planning is performed under ultrasound guidance without patient movement. This workshop is interactive with observation of live cases
