Workflow for TP and TR multiparametric MRI-US fusion targeted combined with systemic template prostate biopsy. Multiparametric MRI images are acquired to identify the prostate and lesions, fusing with real-time US to identify specific areas for biopsy. All patients underwent 3–4 targeted biopsy cores followed by concomitant systematic template biopsies. Systematic biopsy cores in the TP approach are obtained using 2 cores (different locations) taken from each of the 10 sites bilaterally (5 sides each). For the TR approach, a standard 12-core biopsy in a double sextant template is performed. Abbreviations: TP, Transperineal; TR, Transrectal; MRI, Magnetic resonance imaging; US, Ultrasound
