Exablate Prostate

MR imaging and thermometry provide real-time monitoring to allow continuous adjustment of treatment parameters according to need.
This ensures that sufficient heat is delivered at the target while avoiding adjacent vulnerable structures.
The movable endorectal focused ultrasound transducer with nearly 1,000 ultrasound rays generates an adjustable focus that can ablate cancerous tissue throughout the prostate gland.
The sharp margin of the ultrasound beam allows targeting of tumors within less than 1 mm of the sphincters and neurovascular bundles, with no heat applied to these structures.
The active rectal cooling system further safeguards the rectal wall.
Final assessment with contrast MRI provides immediate verification of complete ablation.
Targeted ablation, high resolution MR visualization and flexible planning software are designed to deliver a focal prostate treatment precisely tailored to the individual patient, reducing treatment risks while optimizing results.
