Predictive Factors for Prolonged Urination Disorder After Permanent I Brachytherapy for Localized Prostate Cancer.

Background: We assessed the change in LUTS after prostate brachytherapy to reveal factors for prolonged urination disorder.

Materials And Methods: Four hundred and four patients received prostate brachytherapy at our institution and were followed-up for at least 2 years. We evaluated the correlation of mean IPSS changes and clinical factors.

Virtual cavernoscopy: a novel diagnostic tool for use in the corpus cavernosal lumen in patients with erectile dysfunction.

Objective: • To evaluate virtual cavernoscopy as a diagnostic tool in erectile dysfunction.

Patients And Methods: • Forty patients who visited our hospital for investigation of erectile dysfunction underwent cavernosography using three-dimensional (3D)-computed tomography (CT). • Virtual cavernoscopic images were reconstructed from 3D-CT data.
