Fig. 2 Transrectal ultrasonography: (A) gray-scale B-mode; (B) three-dimensional transrectal acoustic radiation force impulse imaging of cancer lesions; (C) matching pathology.

Fig. 3 Conceptual schematic of treatment options for focal therapy: (A) true focal ablation; (B) hemiablation: the ablation zone is extended to include the ipsilateral neurovascular bundle and margin (treatment of possible extracapsular extension of disease); (C) 75% ablation: note that 25% of the gland (untreated area) will be on an active surveillance protocol; (D) near-total ablation: some undetermined amount of parenchyma will not be treated to maintain the neurovascular bundle on that side. Adapted from Polascik [53]. NVB=neurovascular bundle. European Urology Supplements 2009 8, DOI: ( /j.eursup ) Copyright © 2009 European Association of Urology Terms and Conditions
