BackgroundTo present our experiences in initial clinical evaluation of a novel mechatronic system for in‐bore guidance of needles to the prostate for MRI‐guided prostate interventions in 10 patients. We report accuracy of this device in the context of focal laser ablation therapy for localized prostate cancer.
MethodsAn MRI‐compatible needle guidance device was developed for transperineal prostate...
Two patients with low-risk prostate cancer (PCa) were treated with outpatient in-bore magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)–guided focal laser ablation.The tumor was identified on MRI. A laser fiber was delivered via a catheter inserted through a perineal template and guided to the target with MRI. The tissue temperature was monitored during laser ablation by MRI thermometry. Accumulated thermal damage...
