We
demonstrate feasibility and report technical and clinical performance of a
needle navigation system where pathologically referenced multi-parametric
interventional MRI guidance improved the determination of tumor boundaries, and
enabled accurate tumor-targeted HDR prostate brachytherapy. The value of 3D
imaging to document actual location of biopsy cores in reference to anatomic
boundaries is emphasized.
