Fig. 1 Treatment with magnetic resonance imaging–guided transurethral ultrasound ablation. ECD=endorectal cooling device; UA=ultrasound applicator. European Urology 2016 70, 447-455DOI: (10.1016/j.eururo.2015.12.029) Copyright © 2016 Terms and Conditions
Fig. 2 (a) Maximum temperature distribution measured during treatment; (b) Visualization of the peripheral region of enhancement surrounding the non-perfused volume on CE-MRI acquired immediately after treatment. Images are oblique-axial transverse to the UA. CE-MRI=contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging; MRI=magnetic resonance imaging.
