Comparison Of Contrast Enhanced Color Doppler Targeted Biopsy With Conventional Systematic Biopsy: Impact On Prostate Cancer Detection

Abstract

Contrast enhanced color Doppler targeted biopsy detected as many cancers as systematic biopsy with fewer than half the number of biopsy cores. Although an increase in cancer detection was achieved by combining targeted and systematic techniques in this screening population, contrast enhanced targeted biopsy alone is a reasonable approach for decreasing the number of biopsy cores.
