The purpose of this research study is to learn about how cone-beam Computerized Tomography scans (X-ray images taken from different angles) work together with an embolization guidance software (helps the doctor see the arteries that feed the prostate)to find and see arteries in the prostate.

cone-beam CT with Embolization Guidance software (Emboguide) to identify prostatic arteries and assist endovascular navigation, by projecting a 3D road map of prostatic arteries on live fluoroscopy, in order to differentiate them from non-target vessels.

Time for Prostatic Artery Catheterization
For the cases using Emboguide this will be measured as the time from which the Emboguide is displayed on the live fluoroscopy to the time of prostatic artery catheterization. Emboguide display is in addition to the angiogram roadmap display. For the control cases this will be measured as the time from which the angiogram is displayed on the live fluoroscopy to the time of prostatic artery catheterization.
