An MRI-guided prostate biopsy helps healthcare providers diagnose, stage and treat prostate cancer. Providers use MRI and ultrasound-guided technology to take tissue samples (biopsy) from your prostate gland.

MRI-guided prostate biopsy takes 30 to 90 minutes, with post-procedure monitoring for 45 to 60 minutes. The doctor may use MRI and Mp-MRI images during an ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy. For this procedure, the MR images are fused to real-time ultrasound (US) imaging to help target biopsy sites.

2017年11月15日 · Good news: Biopsy is getting a whole lot smarter with a new approach called multi-parametric MRI (mpMRI)-guided biopsy, also known as fusion or targeted biopsy. mpMRI-guided biopsy uses three different ways of looking at prostate tissue to help determine the presence of cancer, says Carter.

This prostate-imaging technology offers a more exacting method to obtain biopsy specimens from suspicious areas within the organ. The targeted method has proven of great value for detection of tumors in men with prior negative biopsies, but persistently elevated PSA levels.

MRI-guided (fusion and in-bore) biopsies provide a higher detection rate for clinically significant prostate cancer and increase the percentage of positive cores.

2023年3月17日 · Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tests and prostate biopsies are two of the most common and accurate methods used to confirm a diagnosis of prostate cancer. An MRI uses strong magnets and...

2024年1月4日 · Multiparametric MRI—the most accurate imaging technique for detection of prostate cancer—has transformed the landscape of prostate cancer diagnosis by enabling targeted biopsies. In a targeted biopsy, tissue samples are obtained from suspicious regions identified at prebiopsy diagnostic MRI.

2017年2月3日 · Interventional radiologist Claire Kaufman and abdominal radiologists Jeffrey Olpin, MD, and Glen Morrell, MD, PhD are three of a handful of physicians in the country providing a better approach: real-time MRI-guided prostate biopsy.

MRI-guided biopsy for prostate cancer, also called MRI fusion biopsy, offers men a better option for biopsy of prostate tumors. In some cases, the procedure may make a male lumpectomy possible. Request an appointment now. Who should get the UroNav MRI-Guided Biopsy? Men with elevated PSA but haven’t had a biopsy.

MRI technology is used to precisely guide the biopsy needle and samples are taken from the target area. On average, an MRI guided prostate biopsy take 30 to 60 minutes. Biopsy samples are sent to a pathology lab for analysis.
