Pelvis and perineum
Published in Aida Lai, Essential Concepts in Anatomy and Pathology for Undergraduate Revision, 2018
Structures in deep perineal pouch in males– dorsal n. of penis– internal pudendal a. (a. to bulb of penis, a. to crura of penis, dorsal a. of penis)– external urethral sphincter– bulbourethral glands– membranous urethra– deep transverse perineal muscle

Labia minora - smaller, fat-free skin folds (singular, labium minus), internal to the labia majora (Fig. 7.7) and covered by hairless skin, that form the immediate boundaries surrounding the vaginal opening (vestibule). On either side of the opening is the bulb of the vestibule, an elongated mass of erectile tissue (male equivalent bulb of penis).

Although 3 D hyperthermia treatment planning systems are scarcely used as a routine part of the interstitial hyperthermia workflow, they have great potential to increase the insight and understanding of the quality of the applied heat distribution. Phantom measurements are generally unable to produce quantitative metrics like T10, T50, and T90, whereas these parameters are readily calculated with treatment planning systems. The benefits of planning software are especially useful in cases of irregular implants which deviate from equally spaced implants, or when insertion depths are variable. Simulations can help to determine the required applicator spacing for optimal target heating. If the insertion depth is shallow for a particular source, care must be taken to ensure that the SAR profile is as expected and not unintentionally preferentially heating tissue proximal to the target (e.g., bulb of penis, vaginal wall), or skin surface around the entrance site. Hyperthermia treatment planning is generally invaluable for initial evaluation of novel interstitial hyperthermia applicators or implant configurations.

Patients were prepared for treatment with a comfortably full bladder and empty rectum in the supine position daily. The target definition was based on computerised tomography (CT) in conjunction with the support of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for a more precise delineation of the anatomical configuration of the prostate, rectum, urinary bladder, and bulb of penis. Immobilisation of pelvis was achieved by a custom vacuum lock bag during the simulation and treatment.
