Evaluation of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging/transrectal ultrasound fusion-targeted biopsy of the prostate

Problemstellung: To evaluate the accuracy of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging/transrectal ultrasound (mpMRI/TRUS) fusion-targeted biopsy of the prostate for prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis. Patienten und Methode: From April 2013 to January 2014, 53 men were included in this prospective single centre study because of PCa suspicious lesions on mpMRI examinations. The degree of PCa suspicion from mpMRI findings was classified according to the PI-RADS scoring system.
