Continued Access of Focal MR-Guided Focused Ultrasound for Localized Intermediate Risk Prostate Lesions

This extended clinical investigation is a multicenter, prospective, single arm study intended to provide continued access of the Exablate Model 2100 device (Exablate Prostate) to patients for treatment of prostate lesions and collect additional safety and effectiveness data during the 510(k) preparation and review period.
