MRI-US fusion guided prostate biopsy: how I do it

Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and MRI-guided prostate biopsy have become the standard for prostate cancer diagnosis. As their implementation is relatively recent, experience is still limited in various centres. MRI-guided biopsy requires basic knowledge in prostate MRI and ultrasound (US), but also in the image processing protocol specific for each device. Standardization of the method is needed to ensure the best results in terms of diagnosis accuracy. We hereby present our technique for MRI-US fusion guided prostate biopsy and the outcomes after performing more than 600 procedures.
