What is an MRI fusion biopsy?

First, an MRI shows any suspicious areas in the prostate. During the biopsy, software overlays the MRI onto real-time ultrasound. That helps guide the needle to those exact spots.

This can find more significant cancers than a standard biopsy alone.

Our urologists use MRI fusion for biopsies.

If you need one, schedule a visit.

• Has my MRI shown any suspicious areas?
• How should I prepare for the biopsy?

Bring your MRI report and PSA history. Before the biopsy, our team goes over your medicines, especially blood thinners, and gives you written instructions to follow.

Call us if your PSA has risen, if an MRI showed an area of concern, or if anything in your instructions is unclear before the biopsy.

Our urologists combine your MRI with live ultrasound during the biopsy so the samples come from the areas that matter. A pathologist studies the samples, and our urologists explain the report with you once it is back.

Bring your questions to our Roswell clinic and surgery center, where our urologists, physician assistants and nurse practitioners can go over them with you in person. Our Roswell team is here when you are ready.

Call 678-344-8900, mention this article, and our team will find you the first opening in Roswell.
