Safety Evaluation of ExAblate MRgFUS for Prostate Cancer
Safety, Compatibility and Imaging Quality of ExAblate Prostate Applicator for Prostate Cancer

Evaluate the safety, compatibility and imaging quality of the ExAblate MRgFUS system.

The objective of this study is to evaluate safety, compatibility and imaging quality of the ExAblate MRgFUS system for prostate cancer, under simulated use conditions. No acoustic energy will be delivered and no focused ultrasound therapy will be performed. This is an imaging only study.
