MRI
of the prostate after HIFU session (the
whole prostate volume is treated)
MRI examinations performed early after the HIFU treatment of prostate cancer cannot give a qualitative assessment of the necrosis. But it allows a precise evaluation of the treated volume as demonstrated in a clinical trial. Indeed, after gadolinium injection, the treated area appeared as an hypo-intense area and a surrounding 6-8 mm ring of contrast enhancement. Biopsies were taken in the ring, and also evidenced a complete necrosis in this ring.
