Image-Guided Prostate Fusion Biopsy Course

Training Overview

Image-Guided Prostate Fusion Biopsy Course is a comprehensive, simulation-based diagnostic training program developed for urologists, radiologists, and fellows aiming to enhance their proficiency in MRI–ultrasound fusion–guided prostate biopsy. This two-day course integrates structured theoretical instruction with immersive hands-on simulation, focusing on accurate lesion targeting, navigation systems, and complication avoidance in prostate cancer diagnostics.

The program begins with in-depth sessions on prostate MRI interpretation, PI-RADS classification, and lesion mapping. Participants explore essential principles of fusion imaging, system calibration, needle trajectory planning, and workflow optimization in targeted biopsy procedures. The curriculum emphasizes MRI-ultrasound fusion technologies, transrectal and transperineal approaches, and best practices for sampling clinically significant lesions.

Hands-on simulation modules enable participants to perform full procedural workflows using high-fidelity fusion biopsy simulators and 3D prostate anatomical models. Under expert supervision, attendees practice probe manipulation, target alignment, needle tracking, and multi-core sampling techniques, with a strong focus on accuracy, reproducibility, and patient safety.

Through interactive video reviews, case-based discussions, and faculty-guided debriefings, participants analyze real clinical scenarios and refine their diagnostic decision-making under realistic conditions. The training integrates structured performance feedback designed to enhance targeting precision, improve biopsy quality, and strengthen clinical confidence.

By the end of the program, participants will have developed the technical expertise and cognitive understanding required to perform MRI–ultrasound fusion–guided prostate biopsies safely, efficiently, and with optimal diagnostic accuracy.
