The team at Focal Healthcare develops innovative imaging tools which simplify targeted biopsies and therapy. Informed by end users, our products are designed around three key pillars:
Accuracy
Reliably targets lesions using MRI-ultrasound image fusion
Compared to ultrasound imaging, MRI can be considered the “Gold Standard” for detecting lesions.2 MRI-targeted biopsies with Fusion Bx lead to increased cancer detection rates by addressing 3 key sources of inaccuracy: prostate deformation, patient motion and registration.
Efficiency
Simplified workflow minimizes training and procedural times
Innovative technology doesn’t need to be complicated. Driven by end users, our 4-step guided workflow and semi-robotic arm eases the procedure for both physicians and patients.
Accessibility
Cost effective and easy to use fusion biopsy solution
Through rigorous testing and a fine attention to detail, we’ve developed a quality cost effective solution for fusion biopsies. Thoughtful engineering, multi- probe compatibility and accommodating customer service makes our system accurate, efficient and accessible to everyone.
Introducing the Fusion Bx
Thoughtfully engineered, the Fusion Bx’s semi-robotic arm allows the probe to be maneuvered effortlessly, while maintaining consistent pressure on the prostate. With a freehand like motion and minimal prostate deformation, the Fusion Bx enables you to accurately locate and target suspicious regions of interest.

Fusion combines previously taken MRIs with live ultrasound to improve the visibility of suspicious lesions in the prostate. This allows physicians to take fewer cores because lesions can now be targeted. Get to know more about fusion and the Fusion Bx.
