Prostate MRI is currently the best diagnostic imaging method for detecting PCa . Magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI )/ultrasonography ( US ) fusion allows the sensitivity and specificity of MRI to be combined with the real‐time capabilities of transrectal ultrasonography ( TRUS ). Multiple approaches and techniques exist for MRI / US fusion and include direct ‘in bore’ MRI biopsies, cognitive fusion, and MRI / US fusion via software‐based image coregistration platforms.
