Abstract

A system is provided that may be used for locating and diagnosing lesions in the human body in vivo. In some embodiments, once the exact position of a lesion is found, a biopsy may be taken from the lesion using e.g. ultra sound techniques for guidance of the biopsy needle. Use of the system drastically reduces the negative biopsy samples compared to currently used ''blind sampling'' techniques. This reduces patient discomfort and minimizes infections as the number of biopsy samples is reduced. A method and computer-readable medium is also provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to the field of medical imaging. More specifically, the invention relates to imaging different tissue types in the body and using medical imaging to guide tissue biopsies. Background technique [0002] Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men after skin cancer. The American Cancer Society (ACS) estimates that approximately 232,090 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed in the United States in 2005, and 30,350 men will die from the disease. The ACS estimates that one in six American men is at risk of developing prostate cancer during his lifetime. [0003] There are several tests available for detecting prostate cancer, such as the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test, digital rectal examination (DRE), transrectal ultrasound (TRUS), and core needle biopsy. PSA, DRE, and TRUS have limited sensitivity and / or specificity for lesions and are primarily used to estimate prostate cancer risk base...
