In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This clinical trial studies whether transperineal micro-ultrasound can be used to detect prostate cancer during biopsy. Transrectal ultrasound is often used during prostate biopsy. Transrectal ultrasound imaging is a procedure in which a probe that sends out high-energy sound waves is inserted into the rectum. The sound waves are bounced off internal tissues or organs and make echoes. The echoes form a picture of body tissue called a sonogram. Transrectal ultrasound is used to look for abnormalities in the rectum and nearby structures, including the prostate. The images are used to guide the prostate biopsy. Transperineal micro-ultrasound is completed by placing a probe over the skin between the scrotum and anus (perineum). It is a high-resolution ultrasound at 29 megahertz (MHz) (compared to traditional ultrasound at 6-9 MHz). This higher frequency allows for an improved spatial resolut
