Reduction of seed motion using a bio‐absorbable polymer coating during permanent prostate brachytherapy using a mick applicator technique

PURPOSE: The addition of a braided bio‐absorbable vicryl coating to the surface of radioactive seeds used for low dose rate (LDR) prostate brachytherapy is intended to reduce the incidence of seed movement and migration. Here, we present a single‐institution study of the frequency and severity of se...
