Fusion Prostate Biopsy

In a standard biopsy, the mapping of the prostate is done blindly, and a suspicious focus can be missed. In a fusion biopsy, however, because the targeted tumor coordinates from the MRI image are loaded into the system, the shot is made directly into the heart of the tumor, reducing the risk of missing cancer to near zero.

Because it is generally performed under mild sedation (sleep) or local anesthesia to maximize patient comfort, no pain is felt during the procedure.

Fusion biopsy is an outpatient procedure. The patient is kept under observation for 1-2 hours after the procedure and can be discharged on the same day to return to their normal life.
