MRI Guided Prostate Biopsy
Sponsor: Brigham and Women's Hospital
Summary
This study aims to assess the feasibility of magnetic resonance (MR) guided prostate biopsy using a needle holder frame. This frame is used to help position the needle used for the biopsy. The feasibility in this study is defined as whether the needle holder frame enables accurate tissue sampling from a suspicious region in the prostate found on an MR image. If it does, a biopsy can be carried out with the needle holder frame safely in a clinical routine. The study will be conducted during a routine MR-guided prostate biopsy procedure with an investigational needle holder frame instead of a conventional needle-guiding template.

MRI-guided prostate biopsy using the needle holder frame.
A needle holding frame will be used during a routine MRI-guided prostate biopsy procedure, where tissue samples are obtained from each suspected region found on MRI using an MRI-conditional core biopsy needle. In this routine procedure, tissue sampling is performed in an MRI gantry and intraprocedural MRI is used to localize the regions.
