Abstract

Purpose To compare the impact of the fusion of intraoperative transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) images with day 30 computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on prostate volume and dosimetry. Methods and materials Seventy-five consecutive patients with CT and MRI obtained on day 30 with a Fast Spin Echo T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) sequence were analyzed. A rigid manual registration was performed between the intraoperative TRUS and day-30 CT based on the prostate volume. A second manual rigid registration was performed between the intraoperative TRUS and the day-30 MRI. The prostate contours were manually modified on CT and MRI. The difference in prostate volume and dosimetry between CT and MRI were compared. Results Prostate volume was on average 8% (standard deviation (SD) ± 16%) larger on intraoperative TRUS than on CT and 6% (18%) larger than on MRI. In 48% of the cases, the difference in volume on CT was > 10% compared to MRI. The difference in prostate volume between CT and MRI was inversely correlated to the difference in D90 (minimum dose that covers 90% of the prostate volume) between CT and MRI (r = -0.58, P < .001). A D90 < 90% was found in 5% (n = 4) on MRI and in 10% (n = 7) on CT (Fisher exact test one-sided P = .59), but in no patient was the D90 < 90% on both MRI and CT. Conclusions When fusing TRUS images with CT and MRI, the differences in prostate volume between those modalities remain clinically important in nearly half of the patients, and this has a direct influence on how implant quality is evaluated.
