The purpose of this prospective study was to determine the ability of an MRI-US fusion biopsy system to detect clinically significant (CS) disease in active surveillance (AS) patients compared to random transrectal ultrasound (R-TRUS) guided biopsy (bx). Multiparametric MRI prospectively identified up to 4 suspicious targets in each patient. Biopsy was performed using an MRI-ultrasound navigation system (UroNav, Philips Healthcare). MRI-US fusion biopsy detected more CS cancers with fewer biopsy cores than random biopsy in AS patients. In addition, MRI in AS patients has a high negative predictive value for the presence of CS disease on subsequent biopsy.
