Abbreviations: CT = computed tomography; TRUS = transrectal ultrasound; CT/TRUS volume ratio = postimplant CT scan volume relative to the ratio of the preimplant TRUS volume of the prostate; B: unstandardized coefficients; SE: standard errors of unstandardized coefficients; NHT = neoadjuvant hormonal therapy.
