Contrast-enhanced Ultrasound Imaging Following Transperineal Laser Ablation for Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms
This study described ablation zone shape and measured the ablation volume following TPLA by various fiber configurations using CEUS, and compared these to functional outcomes. Prostate volume reduced significantly during follow-up. Segmentation showed substantial inter-patient ablation volume variation, which limits treatment predictability and thus accuracy.
