In the procedure, MRI scans are used to precisely apply ultrasound to a man's prostate cancer, through a small catheter-like device inserted through the urethra.

Combining MRI-guided biopsy of the prostate with conventional ultrasound-guided 12-core prostate biopsy was superior to either technique alone at ruling out more aggressive cancers, and beat MRI ...

MRI-guided ultrasound A newer method which could hold great potential for treatment is MRI-guided transurethral ablation, or TULSA. This method is minimally invasive and is based on the accurate ...

To perform prostate cancer biopsies, doctors use a technology called MRI fusion-guided biopsy. This technique combines MRI with a transrectal ultrasound to more precisely sample prostate tissue. The ...

The transurethral ultrasound ablation (TULSA) method uses an MRI to guide the procedure, which involves inserting a rod through the urethra into the prostate, where it uses heat via sound waves to ...

CHICAGO -- A minimally invasive MRI-guided procedure that uses therapeutic ultrasound effectively treated prostate cancer with nominal side effects, a researcher said here. In the TULSA-PRO ...

A novel MRI-guided procedure that uses therapeutic ultrasound effectively treats prostate cancer with minimal side effects, according to a new study presented today at the annual meeting of the ...

A safer and less invasive treatment option for prostate cancer could soon be on the table, with a novel MRI-guided ultrasound technique eliminating significant cancers in 80 percent of subjects in ...

World J Urol. doi: 10.1007/s00345-019-02784-w Eggener SE. Pivotal trial of MRI-guided transurethral ultrasound ablation in men with localized prostate cancer.

“The ability to see MRI images presented as an overlay, on top of a real-time ultrasound, during urological procedures is substantial,” said Dr. Roni Gilad, a Senior Urologist at Rabin Medical ...

A 3D ultrasound virtual reconstruction of the prostate during the transperineal biopsy of the prostate. The areas of color are targets that were identified on MRI as suspicious for cancer.
