Abstract
We hypothesized that the number of cores needed to detect prostate cancer would decrease with increasing MRI-targeted biopsy (TBx) experience.All patients undergoing TBx at our institution from May 2017 to August 2019 were enrolled in a prospectively maintained database. Five biopsy cores were obtained from each lesion ≥3 on PI-RADS v2.0 followed by a systematic 12-core biopsy. To assess learning curve, the study population was divided into...
