  • Apparatus for endorectal prostate biopsy
    Patent number: 7014643
    Abstract: A device for MR-guided endorectal prostate biopsy has a biopsy guidance device connected to an MR system that is secured to the patient support table, and is alignable via the MR system for alignment and guidance of the biopsy needle into a preselectable target area. The biopsy guidance device contains MR-imaging markers and is provided with a trajectory setting mechanism at which the previously selected and calculated trajectory can be set.

  • Method for minimally invasive prostate tumor treatment
    Publication number: 20030100828
    Abstract: In a method for minimally invasive treatment of prostate cancer, a patient with a prostate pathology is subjected to a magnetic resonance-guided biopsy procedure, and a rapid histology is performed on the biopsy sample. If the histology result is positive, the patient is then subjected to a magnetic resonance-guided injection of a therapeutic agent. Since the therapeutic agent is administered during observation of the patient during magnetic resonance, it can be ascertained if and when the administered therapeutic agent fully spreads to cover the pathological region or volume. After an appropriate waiting time the patient is examined in a follow-up examination and appropriate further treatment, if any, is determined based on this follow-up examination.
