Correlation between central zone Perfusion defects on gadolinium-enhanced MRI and intraprostatic temperatures during transurethral microwave thermotherapy

The likelihood of success of thermoablation of prostatic hyperplasia depends on delivering an optimal thermal dose, but data on the temperatures achieved with these methods are few. We sought to develop a noninvasive method for monitoring intraprostatic heat distribution. Thirteen patients ranging f...
