Biopsies guided by high resolution ultrasound are as effective as those using MRI in diagnosing prostate cancer, an international clinical trial has shown. The technology, called micro-ultrasound, is ...

A research team from Harbin Institute of Technology has proposed a novel and effective robot system for ultrasound-guided prostate percutaneous intervention. The 8-joint robot system can realize a ...

Rates of severe infection after transrectal ultrasound-guided (TRUS) prostate biopsy that require hospitalization are on the rise, a population-based Swedish study shows. "Over 100,000 biopsies are ...

A trial found no meaningful difference in detection of clinically significantly prostate cancer between multiparametric MRI-based and microultrasound-based biopsy techniques.

Microultrasonography for prostate biopsy detected clinically significant cancer at rates comparable to MRI-guided approaches. Detection rates for clinically insignificant cancers did not differ among ...

Investigators ran a simulation of a hypothetical group of 65-year-old men who were at risk for the cancer, as indicated by their prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. The costs and benefits of ...
