MRI-guided transurethral ultrasound prostate ablation: midterm outcomes of a phase I clinical trial
Background/introduction MRI-guided transurethral ultrasound ablation (TULSA) is a new minimally-invasive modality for the treatment of prostate cancer, which aims to provide local disease control with low morbidity. A transurethral ultrasound device generates a continuous volume of thermal coagulation that is shaped precisely to the prostate using realtime MR thermometry and active temperature ...
متن کاملTransurethral prostate thermotherapy: filtering the bowel motion during MR-thermometry processing
Background/introduction Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided transurethral ultrasound therapy is a minimally-invasive image-guided treatment for localized prostate cancer offering precise targeting of tissue within the gland. The accuracy of MR thermometry is critical for precise on-line feedback control as well as for monitoring potential thermal injury of surrounding tissues, especially th...
متن کاملDosimetric and Radiobiological Evaluation of Multiparametric MRI-guided Dose Painting in radiotherapy of Prostate Cancer
Introduction: Radiotherapy is one of the treatment options for locally advanced prostate cancer, however with standard radiation doses it is not always very effective. One of the strategies to improve the efficiency of radiotherapy is increasing the dose. In this study to increase tumor local control rates a new radiotherapy method, known as dose painting (DP) was investigated....
متن کاملEarly toxicity of moderate hypofractionated volumetric modulated Arc radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer
Background: Based on the radiation biology model of prostate cancer, hypofractionated radiotherapy can improve the treatment outcomes without increasing toxicity. Although hypofractionated radiotherapy is implemented over a short period of time, it is more convenient and cheaper compared with conventional fractionated treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate the early toxicity of mod...
متن کاملPET and MRI-guided focused ultrasound surgery for hypoxic-tissue ablation combined with radiotherapy in solid tumors
Background: The rationale was to develop an ablation approach to destroy regions of tumor resistant to radiation and thus reduce the time required for whole tumor ablation, while improving overall tumor control after radiotherapy. Materials and Methods: The system is composed of a micro positron emission tomography (mPET), 7T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and a customized MRI-compatible foc...
