Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Prostate Volume on Actual MRI | Within one month after the fiducial placement | A post-procedure MRI performed within one month after the fiducial placement. |
| Prostate Volume on US reconstruction | During the fiducial placement | A US 3-D sweep will be performed during the fiducial placement. |
| Prostate Volume based on US/EM reconstruction | During the fiducial placement | 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. |
