A clinical development study was designed to validate
targeted MR-ultrasound fusion-guided prostate biopsies
against transperineal template saturation biopsies,
using Real-time Virtual Sonography (RVS). Twenty-seven
patients underwent fusion and template biopsies. Results
were compared and related back to multiparametric MRI.
Eleven of 19 patients with Gleason 6 disease or above,
as diagnosed by template biopsy, tested positive on
fusion biopsy. Almost all the remaining patients had
Gleason 6 disease, which may not be detected on MRI. RVS
has the potential to reduce patient complications and
lighten the burden on healthcare services by
significantly limiting the number of necessary template
saturation biopsies.
