Micro-ultrasound–guided biopsies were found for the first time to be “noninferior” to MRI ... procedures to perform an accurate targeted biopsy into the most worrisome regions of the prostate.

A trial found no meaningful difference in detection of clinically significantly prostate cancer between multiparametric MRI-based and microultrasound-based biopsy techniques. Microultrasonography ...
