   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostate_biopsy

   MRI-guided prostate biopsy appears to be superior to standard TRUS-biopsy in prostate cancer detection. Several groups in the U.S., [15] [16] and Europe, [17] [18] have demonstrated that targeted biopsies obtained with fusion imaging are more likely to reveal cancer than blind systematic biopsies. In 2015, AdMeTech Foundation, American College ...

   [54] [55] For those with elevated levels of PSA, TRUS guided biopsy is performed to take a sample of the prostate for investigation. [56] Although MRI is more accurate than TRUS in determining prostate volume, TRUS is less expensive and almost as accurate as MRI. Therefore, TRUS is still preferred to measure prostate volume. [57]

   For example, imaging of prostate tumors is better accomplished using T2-MRI and DWI-MRI than T2-weighted imaging alone. [7] The number of applications of mpMRI for detecting disease in various organs continues to expand, including liver studies, breast tumors , pancreatic tumors , and assessing the effects of vascular disruption agents on ...
