ABSTRACT
Precise implantation of applicator is the key step of brachytherapy in cervical cancer patients. The imaging guidance can guarantee the accuracy of applicator placement. At present, the imaging approaches used to guide the applicator placement mainly include ultrasound, CT and X-ray, and MRI and laparoscopy have been applied in certain institutions. There has been no consensus on the standard imaging technique. In this paper, nearly 50 articles and surveys were reviewed to demonstrate that ultrasound-guided placement is of clinical value and guiding significance. Therefore, the application of ultrasound-guided applicator placement in the brachytherapy for cervical cancer was summarized and reviewed.
