Accuracy of Multi-parametric Prostate MRI and MRI-targeted, Ultrasound-navigated Prostate Fusion Biopsy in the Detection of Prostate Cancer:
In Brief
An observational study evaluating MRI-TRUS fusion prostate biopsy for Prostate Cancer. Completed, enrolled 157 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators examined whether a high PI-RADS v2 score correlates with the presence of prostate cancer. In addition, the investigator inspected whether the lesion size as determined by mpMRI correlates with the presence of prostate cancer. Furthermore, the investigators study aimed to determine the sensitivity and specificity of mpMRI with respect to prostate carcinoma detection.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
First an advanced MRI prostate image is obtained, annotated and recorded by the Radiology of the Kantonsspital Winterthur. Next, using special fusion technology, the recorded MRI image is fused with a live transrectal ultrasound by the Urologist who performs a MRI/TRUS fusion biopsy.
