First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a new type of ultrasound, called transperineal micro-ultrasound, can better detect prostate cancer during biopsy. Unlike standard ultrasound, this method uses higher frequency sound waves to create clearer images. Researchers will enroll 138 men scheduled for a prostate biopsy to see if this technique improves cancer detection.
