A Novel Stereotactic Prostate Biopsy System Integrating Pre-Interventional Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Live Ultrasound Fusion

Abstract

Perineal stereotactic prostate biopsies guided by the combination of magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound enable effective examination of suspicious magnetic resonance imaging lesions. Each biopsy core taken is documented accurately for its location in 3 dimensions, enabling magnetic resonance imaging validation and tailored treatment planning. The morbidity of the procedure was minimal.
