UroNav MR/Ultrasound Fusion Biopsy
The UroNav MR/Ultrasound Fusion Biopsy System combines pre-biopsy MRI with real-time ultrasound imaging to deliver a highly accurate, minimally invasive method for detecting suspicious prostate lesions.
Advanced Prostate Cancer Detection with UroNav MR/Ultrasound Fusion Biopsy System
Prostate cancer is a serious health concern, and early, accurate detection is essential for effective treatment. Traditional biopsy methods may miss tumors due to limited visualization of the prostate, which can delay diagnosis and care. The UroNav MR/Ultrasound Fusion Biopsy System uses advanced imaging technology to perform targeted prostate biopsies, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and reducing uncertainty for patients with elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels.
How UroNav Works
The UroNav MR/Ultrasound Fusion Biopsy System combines pre-biopsy MRI with real-time ultrasound imaging to create a detailed, 3D view of the prostate and any suspicious lesions. After a prostate MRI is performed, our radiology partners use DynaCAD Prostate to quickly identify and evaluate areas of concern. This diagnostic insight guides our urologists in performing a targeted biopsy with precision and confidence.
Benefits of UroNav:
- Accuracy: UroNav integrates MRI with ultrasound to improve visualization and biopsy precision, reducing the risk of missed tumors.
- Minimally invasive: The procedure is typically completed in under 20 minutes with minimal discomfort, allowing patients to return home the same day.
- Predictive insight: MRI reveals characteristics that may indicate cancer, helping identify cases that traditional methods may overlook.
Ideal candidates:
- Patients with a lesion detected on MRI
- Individuals with elevated PSA levels and a prior clear biopsy, where MRI reveals suspicious areas suitable for targeted biopsy using UroNav
