Abstract
- Objectives To determine transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) visibility of magnetic resonance (MR) lesions. Methods Data from 34 patients with 56 MR lesions and prostatectomy were used. Five observers localized and determined TRUS visibility during retrospective fusion. Visibility was correlated to Prostate Imaging–Reporting and Data System (PIRADS) and Gleason scores. Results TRUS visibility occurred in 43% of all MR lesions and in 62% of PIRADS 5 lesions. Visible lesions had a significantly lower localization variability. On prostatectomy, 58% of the TRUS-visible lesions had a Gleason 4 or 5 component. Conclusions Almost half of the MR lesions were visible on TRUS. TRUS-visible lesions were more aggressive than TRUS-invisible lesions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
