Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy with Multi-modal Tissue Discrimination for Ultrasound-Guided Targeted Biopsy
Conor McDermott
Abstract:Prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis has undergone a dramatic evolution in recent years.Men with clinical risk factors and important lesions observed via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) typically undergo a targeted biopsy. In a typical prostate biopsy procedure, the operator uses ultrasound (US) imaging to place a biopsy needle in the lesion(s) identified pre-operation via MRI for sampling. Since the lesion is not always visible in US, there is no way to ascertain that the needle is correctly placed in the lesion … Show more
