      abstract = {Image-Guided Prostate Cancer Treatments is a comprehensive  reference and practical guide on the technology and  application of ultrasound and MRI in the male pelvis, with  special attention to the prostate. The book is organized  into three main sections, the first of which is devoted to  general aspects of imaging and image-guided treatments. The  second section provides a systematic overview of the  application of ultrasound and MRI to the diagnosis and  treatment of diseases of the lower urinary tract.  Performance of the ultrasound and MRI studies is explained,  and the normal and abnormal pathological anatomy is  reviewed. Correlation with the ultrasound in the same plane  is provided to assist in understanding the MRI sequences.  Biopsy and interventional procedures, ultrasound-MRI fusion  techniques, and image-guided therapies, including focused  ultrasound, photodynamic therapy, microwave and laser  ablation, are all fully covered. The third section focuses  on securing treatment effectiveness and the use of  follow-up imaging to ensure therapeutic success and detect  tumor recurrence at an early stage, which is vital given  that prompt focal treatment of recurrence is very  successful. Here, particular attention is paid to the role  of Doppler ultrasound and DCE-MRI technologies. This book,  containing a wealth of high-quality illustrations based on  high-end equipment, will acquaint beginners with the basics  of prostate ultrasound and MRI, while more advanced  practitioners will learn new skills, means of avoiding  pitfalls, and ways of effectively relating the imaging and  image-guided treatments to the clinical situation.},
