brachytherapy of the prostate
Subject: brachytherapy of the prostate
I'm doing a report where iodine seeds are being placed for prostate cancer, and the ESL says, "the total was 22.9 Madam Curies of iodine." Maybe this is her way of being cute, but I don't think so because she sounds professional otherwise. She's a very good dictator and clear speaking too. Am I way off base thinking no way could Madam Curie be the correct term here? I'm thinking this has to be millicuries and should be transcribed as mCI. Maybe she'd think this was the appropriate abbreviation for Madam Curie too, who knows? Maybe I'm totally wrong, but I just don't think so!

I'm doing a report on a patient being treated for prostate carcinoma, and a ProSeed implant is being done.

I've been googling in an effort to figure this out, and I tried to find the word by doing a wildcard search on my Rad/Onc electronic reference, but I'm not coming up with it. It almost sounds as if the word begins with an 'f' or 'ph.'.
