As these sound waves are reflected back to the transducer, it records and transmits them to the monitoring device, which creates the images (sonograms). In the presence of an abnormal PSA and/or if the results of TRUS are suspicious for prostate cancer, a prostate biopsy is performed.
Ultrasound-and MRI-guided prostate biopsies are performed to collect tissue samples from the prostate gland for examination by a pathologist to determine whether or not the tissue is cancerous. Biopsies are most commonly performed under ultrasound guidance.During the procedure, a special biopsy needle is inserted into the prostate gland through the wall of the rectum to remove several small samples of tissue for pathologic analysis. This method is known as transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided biopsy.he MRI-guided biopsy can be performed with an endorectal approach or a transperineal approach. For the endorectal biopsy, the patient is usually lying on his stomach. The biopsy device has a built in endorectal coil to aid in visualization and a guidance slot for biopsy needle insertion.
