"Focused ultrasound treatment for prostate cancer may offer a novel method to re-think the management of locally-confined prostate cancer in select patients," said Behfar Ehdaie, MD, MPH Surgeon, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. "MR imaging allows real-time visualization and temperature feedback to surgeons to allow for precision in tissue ablation and preservation of healthy tissue," he concluded.

"INSIGHTEC has reached another important strategic milestone. We remain focused on expanding the Exablate technology platform to address multiple clinical indications and treat more patients worldwide,"

said Maurice R. Ferré MD, INSIGHTEC's CEO and Chairman of the Board.
The Exablate Prostate system features an endorectal probe integrated into a treatment bed which is compatible with GE MRI 1.5 and 3T. Ultrasound energy is delivered by a high frequency, 1,000-element phased array transducer which delivers focal therapy under MRI guidance and real time thermal feedback. This enables the physician to control and personalize the therapy.
