Image-guided Intervention Articles

While minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery can help reduce blood loss, reduce hospital time, and shorten recovery time compared to open surgery, it has the disadvantages of limited field of view and difficulty in locating subsurface targets.

This paper presents and validates a low-dimensional nonrigid registration method for fusing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and trans-rectal ultrasound (TRUS) in image-guided prostate biopsy. Prostate cancer is one of the most prevalent forms of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related death in men in the United States.

To report the three-year follow-up of a Phase I study of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided transurethral ultrasound ablation (TULSA) in 30 men with localized prostate cancer. Favorable 12-month safety and ablation precision were previously described.

Focal ablative therapy may be a suboptimal option for anterior prostate cancers (APCs) reaching the prostate apex due to concerns for thermal injury to the external sphincter.

To explore the technical feasibility of anterior partial prostatectomy (APP) for isolated APCs detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and to report short-term oncologic and functional outcomes.

High-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy (iBT) has been shown to provide high tumor control rates in the treatment of primary or secondary malignancies at various sites. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of image-guided iBT in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC).

Partial prostatectomy has been described as an alternative to focal ablation therapy for the management of localized low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer. This report aims to describe the long-term outcomes in a series of 28 men (2000-2022) who underwent robotic-assisted anterior partial prostatectomy (APP) for anteriorly located tumors entirely or partially within the anterior fibromuscular stroma.
