A method for treating prostate cancer including the steps of placing a patient in the prone position within an imaging device, obtaining regularly spaced two-dimensional images of the prostate gland, placing a needle guiding device adjacent the gluteal region of the patient at an angle substantially identical to an angle of the imaging device, successively placing radioactive seeds within the patient through the gluteal region so as to form a three-dimensional array of seeds encompassing the entire prostate gland, and verifying seed placement using the imaging device. |
