- Title
Improved biopsy efficiency with MR/ultrasound fusion-guided prostate biopsy.
- Authors
Kim, Eric H.; Andriole, Gerald L.
- Abstract
The author discusses the improvement of biopsy efficiency with the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided biopsy, and MRI-targeted biopsy (MRITB). Topics discussed include the reduction of overtreatment and overdiagnosis of screen-detected prostate cancer (PCa) through the MRI, the comparison of biopsy efficiency between MRITB and (TRUS)-guided biopsy, and the diagnosis of prostate cancer.
