This form is used to request an opinion on prostatic artery embolization, an alternative to surgery for urinary symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Prostate cancer must have been excluded (PSA, MRI, biopsy if needed) before any embolization.

Before sending your request:

complete the IPSS score and note the result;
attach your latest PSA and, if possible, the prostate MRI or ultrasound (with the volume);
share the images through a download link (CD contents or the link from your imaging centre), not as an attachment;
list the treatments already tried (alpha-blockers, 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, surgery).

📀 CT or MRI images: download link (recommended)

Please do not attach the images to the form or send photos of them: we need the original images (DICOM format), shared via a link.

How do I get this link?

Your imaging centre gave you a link or an access code to view your images online: paste the link into the field above and give any access code in your message.
You have a CD or a USB stick: copy its entire content to your computer (the complete folder, including the DICOMDIR file), without renaming or sorting anything.
Go to wetransfer.com, click the three dots (…) and choose to send as a link: no e-mail address is needed. Add the folder, start the transfer, then copy the link into the field above.
A free WeTransfer link is only valid for 3 days: send this form as soon as the link is created. You can also use SwissTransfer (free), whose link can stay valid for up to 30 days (choose the longest duration).

If you cannot do this, send the form without the images: we will tell you how to send them if they are needed.
