Sonoblate HIFU 3D Animation Posted by: atlantichifu
Video duration: 137 seconds The Sonablate® 500 is a minimally invasive medical device developed by Focus Surgery, Inc. (Indianapolis, IN), that uses HIFU to treat prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The Sonablate® 500 may be an appropriate treatment for the thousands of men who will be diagnosed with the disease. Included is the 3D animation of how it works |

HIFU Explained, Advantages, and 3D Animation Posted by: atlantichifu
Video duration: 467 seconds **** For more information, please go to http://atlantichifu. com ***** The advantages of HIFU are no radiation exposure, focal-whole prostate therapy, outpatient procedure (do not need to say at the hospital), patients do not need to be under anesthesia, and long-term side-effects are low. |
 |
HIFU Explained to Patient and Procedure Details Posted by: atlantichifu
Video duration: 249 seconds **** For more information, please go to http://atlantichifu. com ***** Dr. Narayan explains the HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) to the patient and then details the procedure. As one of Atlantic HIFU's doctors, he explains some of his qualifications to complete the HIFU procedure specifically for patients needing the treatment. |
 |
MRI Spectroscopy Explanation Posted by: atlantichifu
Video duration: 103 seconds **** For more information, please go to http://atlantichifu. com ***** The MRI-S machine shows the chemical composition of the prostate and cancer. The viewing is done through multi-voxel spectroscopy. The viewer shows each partition of the prostate and chemical mapping histogram. Choline, creatine, and citrate levels are displayed within the histogram. |

Advantages of HIFU Posted by: atlantichifu
Video duration: 55 seconds **** For more information, please go to http://atlantichifu. com ***** The advantages of HIFU are no radiation exposure, focal-whole prostate therapy, outpatient procedure (do not need to say at the hospital), patients do not need to be under anesthesia, and long-term side-effects are low. |

General Qualifications for HIFU Candidates Posted by: atlantichifu
Video duration: 71 seconds **** For more information, please go to http://atlantichifu. com ***** Dr. Narayan talks about the general qualifications for HIFU candidates. HIFU surgery is qualified by surgery or radiation for localized disease. The tests to determine these are MRI-S scans, biopsies, ultrasound, and/or CT scan. |

Biopsies, MRI-S Benefits & the HIFU Procedure Posted by: atlantichifu
Video duration: 158 seconds Dr. Narayan explains the various biopsy procedures (including saturation biopsies), examining the prostate with MRI-S initially and then biopsy the places where it shows prostate cancer. Combining that with HIFU (a minimally invasive procedure to eradicate prostate cancer), you get less side effects with better results. |

Can You Reduce Your Risk of Prostate Cancer? Posted by: atlantichifu
Video duration: 61 seconds **** For more information, please go to http://atlantichifu. com ***** Dr. Narayan explains how you can reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Vegetarian diets, phytosterol supplements, and low-fat diets are some of the ways to reduce prostate cancer. |
 |
What is MRI-S? Doctor Narayan Speaks Posted by: atlantichifu
Video duration: 50 seconds **** For more information, please go to http://atlantichifu. com ***** Dr. Narayan speaks about the MRI-S procedure. The MRI-S procedure is non-invasive and takes 15-20 minutes to do. Spectroscopy or the -S, examines the chemical make-up of the prostate which identifies suspicious areas for prostate cancer. |
 |
What is a Prostate Biopsy? Posted by: atlantichifu
Video duration: 35 seconds **** For more information, please go to http://atlantichifu. com ***** If you have an elevated Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA), your doctor will usually recommend a prostate biopsy. Doctors put a rectal probe (small needle) 4 - 6 times into the prostate tissue. |
 |
How is Prostate Cancer Identified? Posted by: atlantichifu
Video duration: 39 seconds **** For more information, please go to http://atlantichifu. com ***** Men receive examinations once a year after age 50. Risk factors for prostate cancer include obesity, age over 60, genetics, and African-American men. |
 |
When Do We Need a Diagnosis of Prostate Cancer? Posted by: atlantichifu
Video duration: 40 seconds **** For more information, please go to http://atlantichifu. com ***** When Do We Need a Diagnosis of Prostate Cancer? When a patient takes a Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) blood test and is determined high or a digital rectum exam that sees abnormalities of the prostate gland. Most are diagnosed much earlier before any symptoms arrive. |
 |
Elevated PSA to Pre-MRI Patient Explanation Posted by: atlantichifu
Video duration: 69 seconds **** For more information, please go to http://atlantichifu. com ***** Dr. Narayan explains the elevated PSA, the biopsy and how it relates to the MRI / MRI-S procedure. |
 |
Dynamic Contrast Enhancement Posted by: atlantichifu
Video duration: 92 seconds **** For more information, please go to http://atlantichifu. com ***** Dynamic Contrast Enhancement are created at certain forms of contrast profusion through the prostate. The goal is to find areas where the blood vessel barrier between the normal tissue and the cancer of the prostate is disrupted. |
 |
Early Prostate cancer Detection with MRI-S Posted by: atlantichifu
Video duration: 60 seconds **** For more information, please go to http://atlantichifu. com ***** The goal is to find lesions in the tissue areas. The smaller the lesion, the earlier stage of cancer. Picking up these small lesions (even with early stage high-elevated PSA counts), can cure patients. |

3.0 Telsa MRI vs. 1.5 MRI Posted by: atlantichifu
Video duration: 52 seconds **** For more information, please go to http://atlantichifu. com ***** The 3T scanner is a stronger magnetic field that provides doctors with much greater detail and can find small prostate cancer areas less than a centimeter in size. |
 |
Benefits of MRI-S VS. Standard Biopsy Posted by: atlantichifu
Video duration: 102 seconds **** For more information, please go to http://atlantichifu. com ***** The goal of MRI-S is to determine suspicious areas. This allows much smaller amounts of needle tracking (done with the biopsy) compared to standard biopsies. This also eliminates the need for saturation biopsies. In some cases, biopsies are not needed at all. |
 |
What preparation do I need to do before my MRI-S? Posted by: atlantichifu
Video duration: 35 seconds **** For more information, please go to http://atlantichifu. com ***** Patient preparation typically does not eat prior to the exam. The goal is to keep the bowel empty during examination. Mild laxatives are used to keep the GI tract running efficiently. |
 |
Why is contrast used during a MRI-S? Posted by: atlantichifu
Video duration: 104 seconds **** For more information, please go to http://atlantichifu. com ***** IV contrast is used examining diffusion from the tissue areas to the prostate cancer. They are then reviewed with on-screen color maps. |
 |
What is Spectroscopy? Posted by: atlantichifu
Video duration: 68 seconds Spectroscopy or the -S, examines the chemical make-up of the prostate which identifies suspicious areas for prostate cancer. We look at a chemical choline and citrate to show specific patterns of abnormality with prostate cancer. |
