To help celebrate Urology Awareness Month in September, this session will take a look at prostate MRI and how it plays a large role in the detection and treatment of prostate cancer. We’ll begin with an overview of prostate cancer facts and explain some of the traditional screening and testing protocol for prostate cancer. Then, we’ll move into understanding prostate MRI basics from a clinician’s view. Next, we’ll explain MR/Fusion prostate biopsy, discussing what it is and why it helps. Finally, we’ll wrap up with a few case studies showing examples and best practices.
At the end of this lecture, the participant will be able to:
