TRUS stands for Transrectal Ultrasonography. It is a medium for capturing and creating the outlook image of the prostate gland with the help of ultrasound procedures. The Artemis MRI/TRUS Fusion is a revolutionary imaging and 3D navigation system that provides a complete prostate biopsy management platform. The system allows the doctors to take images from the MRI and use them in conjunction with a standard ultrasound guided biopsy. The system uses robotic principles to mimic a doctors arm movements. This system increases the accuracy, robustness and reliability of performing a MRI/US Fusion Targeted Biopsy. TRUS is suggested by doctors when they suspect a prostate cancer based on an abnormal DRE (Digital Rectal Examination), or increased PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen), and other imaging techniques. TRUS is costly, and it rarely detects prostate cancer that DRE or PSA cannot find. As an outcome, TRUS is widely taken help for guiding a biopsy, but for routine screening, it is not recommendable.
