 An alternative pathway for the diagnosis of prostate cancer in men with raised prostate specific antigen PSA is to perform a multi-parametric MRI to localize cancer and to use this information to influence conduct of a subsequent biopsy, known as an MRI-targeted biopsy. MRI-targeted biopsy has been shown in preliminary studies to detect a similar amount of clinically significant cancer to TRUS-biopsy but may have several advantages, for example in reducing the number of men who require biopsy.
