The multi parametric MRI is a good tool for moderate to advanced tumors however small foci are not picked up and they may have an aggressive nature which may play a role contributing to the +/- 25-30 % that have a higher Gleason after prostatectomy ? Pat

I figured the ultrasound question was related to this technique

An MRI/ultrasound fusion technique is a common advanced method that combines the detailed MRI images with real-time ultrasound guidance for even greater precision.

Could be I was wrong. I agree with you though. Small stuff that doesn’t show up in the MRI could be aggressive cancer yet not seen or easy to biopsy.
