ABSTRACT
The role of three-dimensional brachytherapy (3D-BT) in the radical treatment of cervical cancer has been widely recognized. Obtaining the image information through simulated positioning is a key step of 3D-BT.Currently, MRI/CT positioning has been commonly applied in clinical practice, which has respective limitations when applied in radiosurgery. Consequently, it is of necessity to explore an accurate, highly efficient and convenient positioning approach. Besides MRI and CT, ultrasound is a novel positioning method in clinical settings. Through literature review, the application of ultrasound in 3D-BT was summarized, aiming to provide reliable reference for clinicians.
