“…In patients with difficult anatomy due to distortion caused by tumor or fibrosis, the risk of uterine perforation during brachytherapy may be as high as 30% 4. Use of ultrasound during insertion of the tandem can almost completely eliminate this risk 8. An excellent analysis was performed by Sapienza et al9 illustrating the importance of ultrasound guidance.…”

“…4 Use of ultrasound during insertion of the tandem can almost completely eliminate this risk. 8 An excellent analysis was performed by Sapienza et al 9 illustrating the importance of ultrasound guidance. The analysis included 766 patients (1757 insertions), and compared rates of uterine perforation identified on CT (computed tomography) or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), between ultrasound-guided and unguided tandem insertions.…”

Ultrasound can provide real-time imagery without the risk of radiation exposure, and it is widely available at a relatively low cost. It can provide updated three-dimensional information that can improve the physician’s spatial awareness during a brachytherapy procedure for cervical cancer. There is mounting evidence demonstrating the numerous benefits of ultrasound-guided brachytherapy in the published literature. This evidence supports its routine use to improve the safety and the effectiveness of cervical brachytherapy. In this report we will review various methods in which ultrasound imaging has been used during cervical brachytherapy. We also include a description of our own institutional approach to ultrasound-guided cervical implementation that has been in use for all cervical brachytherapy procedures over the past two decades.
