MRI Ultrasound Fusion Guided Biopsy - biopsy procedure that combines images from an MRI scan and an ultrasound to create a detailed 3D image of the prostate. This procedure makes it easier to see an abnormal area of tissue to guide the biopsy needle into the abnormal area. A sample of tissue can then be taken and examined under a microscope for signs of cancer. An MRI-ultrasound fusion biopsy can help find prostate cancer cells that other types of biopsies may miss. It can help detect cancer at an early stage and plan cancer treatment. Also called fusion biopsy
