Table 1 Intra- and post-surgical evaluations after the treatment of eight canine prostates in vivo with magnetic resonance imaging-guided ultrasound therapy: Tumescence response on an ordinal scale, assessment of thermal damage to peri-prostatic tissues, and correlation between magnetic resonance imaging, thermal dose (> 240 CEM43) volumes and pathology for location and size of the ablation zone
