Postimplant prostate size reduction in the SI (implant) direction cannot reliably be inferred from stranded seed movements. Apart from large-scale migration, residual seed movements relative to the prostate after accounting for edema resolution appear to be random. Prostate V100 and D90 changes 30 days post implant are modest, whereas those for V150 and V200 are substantial.
