The Diagnostic Pathway for Prostate Cancer has Evolved
Worldwide urologic guidelines now point to mpMRI prior to every biopsy. This means Radiology's interpretation of mpMRI is critical to the prostate cancer pathway.
But, today’s reporting results in missed biopsy targets
Existing nomenclature carries different meanings between Radiology and Urology departments. For example, right-mid medial on a Radiologist's MRI may be dissimilar to right-mid medial on a Urologist's ultrasound image during biopsy.
Tools that ensure accurate communication between Radiology and Urology are critical to enhancing patient outcomes.
1 in 6 lesions are subject to misinterpretation.1
You are not wrong. Radiology and Urology are speaking two different languages.
As a result of differences in patient positioning during MRI acquisition and biopsy, one in six lesions are reported in a different sector than they appear during US-guided biopsy.1 In fact, the average orientation difference between MRI and ultrasound biopsy is 12 degrees.1
17% of lesions are localized in different sectors by Radiology and Urology.1
