Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE)

How can cone-beam CT imaging support you in performing prostate artery embolization?

There is a driving demand for less invasive techniques to treat benign prostate hyperplasia, due to the significant complications associated with the current standard procedures such as prostatectomy. Philips offers such a minimally invasive approach. Our image-guided therapy platform – Azurion supports you in confident planning and treatment decisions in PAE interventions with minimal X-ray dose and a clear visualization of the vasculature. Discover how our Azurion solution can support you in making a difference in the lives of your patients.
