There have been recent discussions regarding the use of MRI in the placement of
Radioactive seeds at several affliliated hospitals.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Is this becoming a routine procedure for seed implants?
How is radiological monitoring conducted in during such procedures? (high
magnetic fields vs. radiation meters which are made with metal components).
