Synopsis : Micro-ultrasound is redefining real-time prostate imaging with near-histological resolution, enabling lesion targeting without reliance on MRI fusion. This masterclass introduces the clinical application of the ExactVu Micro-Ultrasound System, including PRI-MUS lesion risk stratification and its integration into transperineal biopsy workflows. Through expert-led discussions, procedural videos, and hands-on exposure, participants will gain practical insights into adopting micro-ultrasound in routine practice, with a critical appraisal of its diagnostic accuracy, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness compared to conventional pathways.
Who should attend :
Practising urologists, urology residents, and specialist nurses involved in prostate diagnostics and biopsy services.
Learning Outcomes :
- Understand the principles and technical advantages of high-frequency (29 MHz) micro-ultrasound
- Apply PRI-MUS (Prostate Risk Identification using Micro-Ultrasound) scoring for lesion detection and risk stratification
- Integrate micro-ultrasound into transperineal prostate biopsy workflows
- Critically evaluate current evidence comparing micro-ultrasound with MRI-targeted and systematic biopsy approaches
- Assess real-world considerations: procedure time, learning curve, and cost-effectiveness
