Dominant Lesion in red
The blue surrounding is the expected ice ball treatment area that will destroy the the tumor
Prostate with lesions, expected ice balls and seeds that make the ice balls. Note the thermocoupler that monitors temperature of potency nerves during treatment
Shows relation between the Prostate glans and the Potency "Erection" nerves
This shows how MRI planing allows for the thermocoupler placement at the site of the potency nerves so it can monitor temperature in a continuos manner
This shows the fusion concept, the 3D MRI treatment plan is "FUSIONED" to the realtime Ultrasound views of the prostate. This provides for a "GPS Like" precision for lesion destruction while sparring critical tissues such as the "potency" nerves
Here shows the expected maximun size of the ice balls. The critical potency nerves are not freezed nor is healthy prostate tissue. This allows for preservation of ejaculation
