Transperineal laser ablation (TPLA) treatment of prostate cancer allows for a minimal invasive treatment approach. However, understanding of the ablation zone development and the 3D size are crucial for accurate treatment of prostate cancer. Therefore, we developed an ex-vivo experimental focal laser ablation set-up using a 1064nm CW diode laser to simulate a TPLA treatment, using human prostate and porcine liver.
We quantitatively evaluated the thermal distribution and ablation zone volume on high-resolution MR imaging and histopathology to determine the 3D size of the ablation zone. These results allow for development of a dosimetry model of clinical TPLA treatments.
