Accuracy validation for MRI-guided robotic prostate biopsy.

Introduction of a new robotic technique for MRI-guided transrectal prostate biopsy: safety and accuracy aspects

MRI-Guided Robotic Prostate Biopsy: A Clinical Accuracy Validation

UNLABELLED Prostate cancer is a major health threat for men. For over five years, the U.S. National Cancer Institute has performed prostate biopsies with a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided robotic system. PURPOSE A retrospective evaluation methodology and analysis of the clinical accuracy of this system is reported. METHODS Using the pre and post-needle insertion image volumes, a reg...

Safety and Feasibility of Direct Magnetic Resonance Imaging-guided Transperineal Prostate Biopsy Using a Novel Magnetic Resonance Imaging-safe Robotic Device.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate safety and feasibility in a first-in-human trial of a direct magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided prostate biopsy using a novel robotic device. METHODS MrBot is an MRI-safe robotic device constructed entirely with nonconductive, nonmetallic, and nonmagnetic materials and developed by our group. A safety and feasibility clinical trial was designed to assess the safety ...

MRI-Guided Prostate Motion Tracking using Multislice-to-Volume Registration

MRI-guided prostate needle biopsy requires compensation for organ motion between target planning and needle placement. Two questions are studied and answered in this work: is rigid registration sufficient in tracking the targets with a maximum error of 3 mm (smaller than average prostate tumor size) and how many intra-operative slices are required to obtain this accuracy? We developed rigid and...

From PROMIS to PRO-MRI in primary prostate cancer

tau.amegroups.com © Translational Andrology and Urology. All rights reserved. In the emerging field of MRI in prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis, it has become clear that targeted biopsy with MRI guidance has additional value over systematic transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsies (TRUS-Bx) alone. The targeted biopsy approach driven by a positive MRI increases the diagnostic yield of high-grade [Gl...
