- Focal laser ablation is a promising technique for treating early stage prostate cancer. This technique when combined with real-time MR imaging can provide optimal diagnosis and treatment. We developed the first prostate ablation robotic system for such a purpose: Our software 3D displays tumour and thermometry during ablation; Our robot executes the treatment. This technology, supported by the NIH Bench-to-Bedside Award (£232,000), the NSF I-Corps Award (1836894, £43,000) was validated in NIH Clinical Center patient trials (#11-C-0158) (Contact: Senior Radiologist, NIH) and resulted in patents (WO/2017/117382, WO2008059263A2).
