This study showcases a transrectal system for precise magnetic resonance (MR) guided prostate interventions. The system accurately guided needles and monitored treatment delivery, proving effective for minimally invasive procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Urology
  • Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • Prostate interventions require precise guidance for accuracy and safety.
  • Traditional methods may lack real-time monitoring capabilities.
  • Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging offers high soft-tissue contrast crucial for targeted procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate a transrectal system for precise MR image-guided prostate interventions.
  • To evaluate the system's capability for accurate targeting and monitoring.
  • To establish a flexible platform for minimally invasive prostate procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a closed-bore 1.5-T MR imaging unit with a transrectal system.
  • Conducted four canine studies involving needle placement, contrast agent distribution monitoring, and brachytherapy seed placement.

  • Employed MR imaging for real-time guidance and assessment of injected materials.

    • Main Results:

    • Achieved reliable needle placement within 2 mm of target sites.
    • Successfully monitored the distribution of injected contrast agents, confirming delivery and detecting errors.
    • Demonstrated accurate placement and MR imaging of brachytherapy seeds within the prostate.

    Conclusions:

    • The transrectal MR image-guided system enables precise prostate interventions.
    • The system facilitates accurate targeting, monitoring of treatment delivery, and placement of therapeutic agents.
    • This technology offers a flexible platform for various minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic prostate procedures.
