No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In men who require a prostate biopsy does a multi-parametric ultrasound based diagnostic strategy compared to a multi-parametric MRI based diagnostic strategy lead to similar detection of clinically significant prostate cancer?

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

multiparametric MRI. Multi-parametric ultrasound

The investigators aim to test the hypothesis that multiparametric ultrasound is able to detect clinically significant prostate cancer with an accuracy that is similar to multiparametric MRI. Multi-parametric ultrasound uses different types of ultrasound images to visualise different aspects of the tissue. In other words, the standard grey-scale images shows the gross anatomy, Power Doppler and Contrast enhanced Ultrasound image blood supply (cancers have more blood supply), and Real-Time Elastography images the density of tissue (cancers are more dense).
