: A retrospective study was performed to evaluate the feasibility of an improved version of a rtCAB tool developed at DEIS (University of Bologna) for the reduction of prostate biopsy cores. rtCAB is an innovative processing technique which enhances TRUS video stream by a live false color overlay image that helps the physician to perform the biopsy by guiding the sampling into target zones. In order to train rtCAB, a monocentric, single operator prostate gland adenocarcinoma database has been built.

Abstract

: A retrospective study was performed to evaluate the feasibility of an improved version of a rtCAB tool developed at DEIS (University of Bologna) for the reduction of prostate biopsy cores. rtCAB is an innovative processing technique which enhances TRUS video stream by a live false color overlay image that helps the physician to perform the biopsy by guiding the sampling into target zones. In order to train rtCAB, a monocentric, single operator prostate gland adenocarcinoma database has been built. The database enlists 81 patients, for a total of 743 prostate byoptic (PBx) cores and 14860 ROI. For each patient we collected age, PSA levels, digital rectal examination (DRE) findings, presence or absence of focal lesions, and prostate volume
