New MRI-Ultrasound fusion aims to sharpen prostate cancer detection
NCT ID NCT05064111
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new software that combines MRI images with real-time ultrasound to guide prostate biopsies. The goal is to help doctors more accurately detect and locate aggressive prostate cancer early. About 100 men scheduled for a standard prostate biopsy will take part. The research focuses on improving diagnosis, not on treating the cancer itself.
What this could mean

Active substance
image fusion software
What this could lead to
If successful, this could make prostate cancer biopsies more accurate, helping doctors find aggressive cancers earlier and choose better treatments.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study testing a software add-on, not a new treatment. The trial is currently suspended, and the software is not yet FDA-approved, so results may not lead to immediate changes in practice.
