Prostate Ablation Procedure
Brief summary
The purpose of this research is to evaluate a new needle guide grid utilizing Clear Guide SCENERGY - MR with a grid embedded with VisiMARKER II to autoregister and target the prostate aiding in needle placement positioning. The proceduralist can utilize this technology to find the best needle path to target within the pelvis.
Interventions
A small square piece of plastic with many holes in it placed between the legs to help guide the path of the interventional instruments and to facilitate the prostate intervention. The guide grid will help with needle placement using the grid technology.
