    Workshop: Prostate MRI Reading and Fusion Biopsy

    Friday, October 31, 2025
    10:00 - 17:00 GMT+0

      Chair(s)

    • Christof Kastner

      Affiliated Associate Professor
      University of Cambridge, Cambridge University Hospitals, United Kingdom

    The course will take participants through an in-depth overview of the basic principles of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) as well as current applications of MRI-ultrasonography (US) fusion-guided biopsies. The faculty will share the latest advances in the field of imaging-guided biopsy. The hands-on training component of the workshop will provide participants with insights into the interpretation and application of MRI-US fusion imaging and how to apply this technology into their practice.

    Learning Objectives :

    At the end of this session, attendees should be able to:
    • Describe the basic principles of mpMRI of the prostate.
    • Develop a basic foundation for interpreting multiparametric MR images of the prostate.
    • Explain the basic concepts of MRI-US fusion.
    • Recognize the limitations in MRI-US registration and consider metrics for quality control.
    • Be familiar with various commercial platforms for MRI-US fusion biopsies of the prostate.
    • Apply MRI-US fusion biopsy techniques to appropriate clinical scenarios.
    • Implement an MRI-US fusion biopsy program in their routine practice.
