Abstract
null Background null Prostate biopsies targeted by elastic fusion of magnetic resonance (MR) and three-dimensional (3D) transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) images may allow accurate identification of the index tumor (IT), defined as the lesion with the highest Gleason score or the largest volume or extraprostatic extension. null Objective null To determine the accuracy of MR-TRUS image-fusion biopsy in characterizing ITs, as confirmed by correlation...
