I'm doing a report where iodine seeds are being placed for prostate cancer, and the ESL says, "the total was 22.9 Madam Curies of iodine." Maybe this is her way of being cute, but I don't think so because she sounds professional otherwise. She's a very good dictator and clear speaking too. Am I way off base thinking no way could Madam Curie be the correct term here? I'm thinking this has to be millicuries and should be transcribed as mCI. Maybe she'd think this was the appropriate abbreviation for Madam Curie too, who knows? Maybe I'm totally wrong, but I just don't think so!
brachytherapy term for prostate carcinoma
Subject: brachytherapy term for prostate carcinoma
I'm doing a report on a patient being treated for prostate carcinoma, and a ProSeed implant is being done. The doctor says "needle positioning and total needed calculated dose ______zation were all determined by the radiation oncologist and the physicist and are contained in their separate dictation."
I've been googling in an effort to figure this out, and I tried to find the word by doing a wildcard search on my Rad/Onc electronic reference, but I'm not coming up with it. It almost sounds as if the word begins with an 'f' or 'ph.'.

Two questions on lung cancer patient report
Subject: Two questions on lung cancer patient report
My questions are in two sentences one after the other. Sometimes he says period but then really continues on with the same sentence, so I'm not sure if the first sentence is really a complete sentence or not, so the sentence before basically said a PET scan revealed an increase in the size of the hypermetabolic subcarinal lymph node, consistent with subcarinal metastases.
1. "Stable [s/l lock laid right] pleural fluid thickening, but the associated hypermetabolism has resolved." This could maybe be "stable likely right pleural," but I'm not sure if that makes sense and I think I'm hearing a "d" at the end.
2. "There was a small right level 2 node that has become [s/l non rye valk] consistent with an evolving inflammatory process."
