Background: Studies suggested superb microvascular imaging technology to guide prostate cancer biopsy could improve the positive rate of draw materials. The present meta-analysis aimed at determining the accuracy of SMI in the location diagnosis for prostate cancer. Methods: We will search PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Chinese biomedical databases from their inceptions to the October 31st, 2020. Two authors will independently carry out searching literature records, scanning titles and abstracts, full texts, collecting data, and assessing risk of bias. Review Manager 5.2 and Stata14.0 software will be used for data analysis. Results: This systematic review will determine the accuracy of superb microvascular imaging in guiding targeted biopsy of prostate cancer. Conclusion: Its findings will provide helpful evidence for the accuracy of superb microvascular imaging in guiding targeted biopsy of prostate cancer. Systematic review registration: INPLASY2020100117.
