Evaluate the accuracy of HIT guided biopsies for mapping tumor foci with men undergoing prostatectomy.
Full description
The objective of this study is to determine the accuracy of HIT (Hybrid Imaging Technology) guided biopsies for mapping tumor foci with men undergoing prostatectomy. Using a prostate hybrid imaging technology (HIT) which fuses a previously obtained endorectal MR image to transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) image to allow identification and biopsy of tumors by MR imaging in real time. We hypothesis that HIT guided biopsies will accurately localize the foci of prostate cancer.
