Dosimetry Services
The Seattle Prostate Institute has over 12 years of experience in LDR brachytherapy planning. Planning today is quite different than it was years ago, and new data and results are always coming online that allow us to further refine our treatment techniques and planning criteria. You can be the beneficiary of our years of knowledge and our continued focus on improving efficacy and minimizing morbitity. We are excited to be able to offer your practice remote dosimetry services. We can assist your practice in beginning an LDR service, review plans, and we may also offer on-site mentoring possibilities. If you are interested or have questions please feel free to contact us at (206) 215-2480.
