UP-02.231 Does Prostate Biopsy Pose Problems in the Staging of Prostate Cancer by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Scan?Introduction and Objective Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided prostate biopsy is the standard procedure for diagnosis and pathological grading of prostate cancer. MRI scan is needed...
To describe rates of low-grade (grade group 1) and high-grade (grade groups 2-5) prostate cancer identified among men invited to participate in a prostate cancer screening protocol consisting of a PSA test, a 4-kallikre...
Further, we advocate a two-pronged approach for checking compliance against a reference protocol. The first ispre-acquisitioncompliance, where the parameters will be checked for compliance against a reference protocol before a scan is performed. And the second step ispost-acquisitioncompliance, where ...
found a significant correlation between the number of cores and urine culture positive UTI, they could not show this effect for blood culture positive infections [37]. Other complications following prostate biopsy include voiding problems, urinary retention, and erectile dysfunction. The pathophysiology ...
MRI provides good contrast resolution of bone and soft tissue and therefore has good sensitivity and specificity for the detection for bone metastases [7,9,13]. However, limited field of view and long examination time pose problems, which existed even before the development of WB-MRI. ...
Prostate cancer (PC) is the second leading tumor in the male population worldwide [1]. Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) is the gold standard for prostate cancer imaging nowadays, proven to be helpful in early diagnosis, being employed in the evaluation of prostate gland lesions...
MRIs provide more details than a CT scan but results take longer -- maybe 1 hour. MRIs are used to diagnose problems like torn ligaments, inflammation, or spinal issues. It's especially useful for looking at soft tissues (like organs and muscles) and the nervous system. UnlikeX-raysand CT...

A needle biopsy is the only way to diagnose prostate cancer when it is suspected. But there are problems with the method most commonly used, called transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided biopsy. These problems often lead to inaccurate diagnosis. ...
