Abstract

MRI prostate has emerged as the most accurate imaging available for detection of significant prostate cancer. Standardized reporting using the The Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) system for MRI prostate is important for clinical management and for professional communication. Besides diagnosis of prostate cancer, MRI prostate also enabled targeted prostate biopsy, and MRI-Ultrasound fusion biopsy has been increasingly utilized for targeting of suspicious MRI lesions during real-time ultrasound scanning of prostate. The elements of a successful MRI-Ultrasound fusion biopsy program include high quality MRI imaging and reporting, and the proper usage of fusion biopsy machines in achieving an accurate targeted biopsy.
