Fig. 2From: 3-T MRI and clinical validation of ultrasound-guided transperineal laser ablation of benign prostatic hyperplasiaLarge bilateral symmetrical bilobar adenoma in a 62-year-old patient before treatment, on magnetic resonance imaging T2-weighted sequences along the coronal (a) and axial (c) planes. The same sequences, along the coronal (b) and axial (d) planes, performed immediately after transperineal prostate laser ablation show only longitudinal linear hyperintensities (arrows) surrounded by hypointense elliptical-shaped charred tissue (arrowheads) at the site of laser fibre tracks. At this time, no signs of coagulative necrosis are yet visibleBack to article page
