Introducing MRI-guided Laser Ablation Procedure for Prostate Tumors
MRI-guided laser ablation is an advanced, minimally invasive process with a dramatically reduced risk of incontinence and impotence.. Dr. Sperling utilizes an MRI to diagnose and plan treatment. The MRI allows Dr. Sperling to accurately visualize ablation of tumors in real time, preserving normal tissue and adjacent vital organs while ensuring tissue is not damaged. MRI is magnetic resonance imaging that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to produce highly detailed images of the body. This outpatient procedure requires no surgery or anesthesia and is completed in less than one hour. Unlike other similar procedures performed outside the US, MRI-guided laser ablation is FDA-cleared.
