Deskripsi

Prostate-targeted biopsy is usually the preferred method over systematic biopsy because it can effectively detect prostate cancer using only a few puncture cores with fewer complications. With the development of ultrasound, it has gained multimodal technological upgrades, such as the emergence of contrast-enhanced ultrasound, ultrasound elastography, and three-dimensional ultrasonography. Moreover, multimodal ultrasound has played an increasingly significant role in prostate-targeted biopsies.
