Comparison of magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound ( <scp>MRI‐US</scp> ) fusion‐guided prostate biopsies obtained from axial and sagittal approaches

Abstract

Cancer detection rates, Gleason scores, and core involvement from axial and sagittal cores are similar, but significant cancer may be missed if only one core is obtained for each target. Discordance between axial and sagittal cores is greatest in intermediate-risk scenarios, where obtaining multiple cores may improve tissue characterisation.
