Visualizing the urethra by magnetic resonance imaging without usage of a catheter for radiotherapy of prostate cancer

The urethra position may shift due to the presence/absence of the catheter. Our proposed post-urination-magnetic resonance imaging (PU-MRI) technique is possible to identify the urethra without catheter. We aimed to verify the inter-operator difference in contouring the urethra by PU-MRI. The mean v...
