SYSTEM AND METHOD OF GUIDED TREATMENT WITHIN MALIGNANT PROSTATE TISSUE

摘要

An imaging system for identifying and localizing malignant tissue of a prostate, operable for use in diagnosing malignant tissue from a prostate, such system comprising an imaging device, a processor, memory in communication association with the processor, computer software, an energy source, a non-ablative resectioning medical tool for use in T2 weighted imaging, dynamic contrast enhanced imaging and diffusion-weighted imaging, a monitoring device for monitoring delivery of energy deposition and verifying size, location and orientation of malignant tissue, wherein the processor executes code to a) determine size, location and orientation of malignant tissue, b) define areas of malignant tissue versus non-malignant tissue, and c) establish a laser ablation treatment procedure including amounts of laser energy, trajectory of laser energy and specific malignant tissue area targeted so as to avoid ablation of non-malignant tissue wherever said processor executes said code in communication with the non-ablative medical resectioning tool.
