Prostate Imaging and Biopsy Controversies – Summary:
Neal D. Shore, MD, FACS, Medical Director for the Carolina Urologic Research Center, discusses the evolution of transrectal (TR) versus transperineal (TP) prostate biopsy, and compares the efficacy of multi-parametric MRI (mpMRI) versus next generation micro-ultrasound. He goes on to discuss several studies that review the complication rates of TR and TP biopsy, differences in their diagnostic sensitivity, and various procedural techniques associated with TP prostate biopsy. Dr. Shore then examines several landmark studies that summarize the clinical utility of mpMRI and micro-ultrasound and describes the strengths and weaknesses associated with each technique. He concludes by discussing preliminary data comparing the diagnostic performance of micro-ultrasound to mpMRI.
