2304 stereotactic prostate biopsy with pre-interventional mri and live us fusion

Vol. 185, No. 4S, Supplement, Wednesday, May 18, 2011 Given the accuracy of this modality, the system can be filled with saline METHODS: A model of the urinary tract was created with a solution without losing the ability to diagnose a fluid leak in the system.

3–5 mm/sec. In the MRI scanner, the protons of the fluid in the ‘bladder’were excited in a 90 degree axial spin. As the urine moved into theureters a 180 degree pulse was performed along the sagittal plane.
