Sagittal image of the planning CT after the procedures. White asterisk shows artificial ascites as 5% glucose with contrast enhancement agent, which lifted the intestine up from the tumor. Black and white arrowheads indicate hyaluronate gel spacing between the bladder and rectum, and black arrows show plastic interstitial brachytherapy needles penetrating the tumor. The artificial ascites and hyaluronate gel created distances between organ at risks and interstitial brachytherapy applicators
