Tirohia te wāhanga i raro nei, kātahi ka whakautu i te pātai i muri mai i te reo kotahi me te wāhanga:  Passage: Hei whakamahere tika i te tukanga brachytherapy, ka mahia he tirotirohanga haumanu kia mohio ai ki nga ahuatanga o te puku. I tua atu, ka taea te whakamahi i ngā momo whakaahua hei kite i te āhua me te rahi o te pukupuku me tōna pātahitanga ki ngā kiko me ngā okana e karapoti ana. Kei roto i ēnei ko te radiography x-ray, ultrasound, computed axial tomography (CT or CAT) scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Ka taea te whakamahi i ngā raraunga mai i te nuinga o ēnei pūtake ki te waihanga i tētahi tirohanga 3D o te pukupuku me ngā kiko e karapoti ana. Mā te whakamahi i ēnei mōhiohio, ka taea te whakawhanake i tētahi mahere o te tohatoha pai o ngā pūtake radiation. Kei roto i tēnei ko te whakaaro me pēhea te whakanoho me te whakatūnga o ngā kaipuke pūtake (ngā kaituku), e whakamahia ana hei tuku i te hihi ki te wāhi maimoatanga. Ko nga kaituku he kore-radioactive me te mea he ngira, he catheters kirihou ranei. Ko te momo o te kaituku e whakamahia ana ka whakawhirinaki ki te momo o te mate pukupuku e maimoatia ana me nga ahuatanga o te pukupuku whaainga.Ko tenei whakamahere tuatahi ka awhina ki te whakarite kia karohia nga waahi makariri (he iti rawa te whakamarama) me nga waahi wera (he nui rawa te whakamarama) i te wa e maimoatia ana, na te mea ka taea e enei te hua ki te kore o te maimoatanga me nga paanga taha.  Pātai: He aha ngā tikanga whakaahua e whakamahia ana?
te whakaahua irirangi, te ultrasound, te tomography axial rorohiko (CT, CAT ranei) me te whakaata magnetic resonance (MRI).
