An alternative pathway for prostate cancer diagnosis in men with elevated PSA is to perform multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (MPMRI) to localize cancer. This information is used to direct a subsequent biopsy, known as an MRI-targeted biopsy. MRI-targeted biopsy has been shown in preliminary studies to detect a similar or greater amount of clinically significant cancer than systematic TRUS guided biopsy and has several other potential advantages including: the ability to differentiate between clinically significant and insignificant cancer, reducing unnecessary biopsy and fewer numbers of biopsy cores, reducing biopsy-related side-effects.
