Transrectal MR- Guided Focused Ultrasound

Magnetic resonance-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound is a promising and relatively new treatment option for people whose prostate cancers have not spread outside the prostate gland. The procedure is performed while you are lying in an MRI scanner under general anesthesia, meaning you will not be awake. The MRI guides your doctor with detailed imagery as your treatment is completed. The procedure doesn’t involve radiation or incisions. Doctors personalize the procedure to your unique anatomy using MRI-guided technology before, during, and after treatment. This level of customization and precision delivers effective results while reducing the risk of erectile dysfunction, urinary incontinence, and rectal problems.
