| Brachytherapy is the procedure used to treat prostate cancer where a radioactive material (resembling a small seed) is inserted
into the prostate, often directly into the tumors. The radiation from these "seeds" often cause the tumors to shrink and die. |

| United Medical Systems Inc. (UMS) Brachytherapy service intergrates ultrasound guidance for pre-treatment planning, day of implant and post implant procedures.
UMS incorporates the latest innovations from B-K Medical for a high degree of accuracy and placement of the seeds by use of ultrasound guidance. |

| A qualified Brachytherapy Technologist accompanies each system to assist the Urologist. Other on-site support includes an
experienced Radiation Oncologist and a Medical Physicist to assist in Radiation Safety procedures. |
