Urostation answers innovation needs in urological surgery and imaging, which the French Urological Association has summed up the following way:
Exerpt from AFU's press file on 2011 national prostate day:
Open prospectives in medical imaging
The fusion of ultrasound and MR images on the one hand, three-dimensional prostate mapping with real-time biopsy tracts display on the other, currently offer optimal, and probably mandatory conditions, to implement focal treatments.
Generally speaking, the development of medical imaging and more particularly the use of a plurality of technologies: ultrasound, MRI, dynamic MRI (ongoing developments), opens new prospectives in tumor characterisation and localization.
Thanks to those advances, preservative treatments can probably be preferred more and more often.
Urostation edits a normalized intervention report that illustrates the location of the biopsy samples in the prostate, on multiple views and imaging modalities, which allow to evaluate the location and extension of lesions once histological results are known. That report can be a benefitable basis for dicussion with urologist, family doctor, or family.    |
 The urologist explains to the patient the ins&outs of the biopsy procedure that was just performed, and how the 3D mapping will help discussing on future clinical orientations. |
