Summary

This research study is focused on evaluating the effectiveness of a new imaging technique for a procedure called Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE), which is used to treat an enlarged prostate. The study compares two groups of patients: one group receives PAE with advanced imaging called 3D CTA fusion, and the other group receives PAE using the standard imaging method. The goal is to determine if using 3D CTA fusion can make the procedure faster, reduce the amount of radiation exposure, and decrease the need for contrast dye during the procedure. By studying these two groups, researchers hope to identify ways to make PAE safer and more efficient​
