Image-Guided Biopsy & Fusion Techniques in Prostate Cancer

Training Overview

Image-Guided Biopsy & Fusion Techniques in Prostate Cancer is a comprehensive, simulation-based educational program developed for urologists, radiologists, and clinical professionals aiming to refine their skills in image-guided prostate procedures. This two-day course integrates theoretical instruction with hands-on simulation, focusing on MRI/ultrasound fusion, targeted biopsy, and procedural accuracy in prostate cancer diagnosis.

The program begins with detailed sessions on prostate anatomy, imaging modalities, fusion technology, and biopsy strategies. Participants learn to interpret multiparametric MRI, identify lesions, and plan optimal biopsy trajectories while minimizing complications and sampling errors.

Hands-on simulation modules allow participants to perform image-guided biopsies using high-fidelity simulators and virtual fusion platforms. Under expert supervision, attendees practice ultrasound probe handling, MRI/ultrasound fusion alignment, targeted sampling, and systematic biopsy techniques.

Interactive workshops and case-based discussions enable participants to review real imaging datasets, analyze fusion outcomes, and refine decision-making. Faculty-led debriefings provide performance feedback, enhance technical precision, and promote structured workflow for safe and efficient procedures.

By the end of the program, participants will have developed the technical expertise and cognitive understanding necessary to perform accurate, image-guided prostate biopsies and fusion procedures, improving diagnostic outcomes and patient care.
