Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Prostate Volume on Actual MRI

A post-procedure MRI performed within one month after the fiducial placement.

Time frame: Within one month after the fiducial placement

Prostate Volume on US reconstruction

A US 3-D sweep will be performed during the fiducial placement.

Time frame: During the fiducial placement

Prostate Volume based on US/EM reconstruction

A 3-D US sweep performed during the fiducial placement and a Electromagnetic tracking data will also be acquired at the same time, and then the two series of data will be used for US/EM reconstruction.

Time frame: During the fiducial placement
