Surgical procedure of 125I seed implantation for lung cancer and follow-up imaging. A: Image of eldrly patient with lung adenocarcinoma, lung tumor invading the rib, CT localization and target area delineation image before seed implantation; B: Template assisted CT-guided needle puncture, it can be observed that the needle angle and the depth is good; C: After seed implantation, CT image showed good particle distribution in the lesion, and the dose distribution was basically consistent with the preoperative plan; D: Reviewed at 3 days after intervention, CT showed uniform particle distribution in the lesion area; E: 6 months after seed implantation, CT showed that the lesions were significantly reduced to complete remission, a small number of residual lesions could be observed; F: 2 years after intervention, CT showed complete disappearance of lesions, and localized aggregation of implanted particles; G: Planed verification charts of dose before seed implantation; H: Verification charts of dose after seed implantation, and the dose parameters are basically the same with those before implantation
