MRI targeted biopsy of the prostate – 2nd part: fusion techniques
- Urologická klinika, Fakultní nemocnice Olomouc
Prostate carcinoma is one of few malignant tumors being difficult to be diagnosed by conventional imaging methods. On ultrasonographythat is normally used in the diagnosis of prostate cancer, typical hypoechogenic lesion is visible in only 30 %, whichresults in low TRUS sensitivity. In recent years,MRI and especially multi-parametric analysis appears to be promising solution. MRIvisualised lesion is biopted either in real-time using in-bore technique or by selected fusion technique.
