MRI for Targeted Biopsies Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) can accurately visualize the inner workings of the prostate, including tumor location and volume, by incorporating…
Standard biopsies blindly sample 1% of the prostate. We're here to set a new standard of care with MRI-targeted fusion biopsies.
Prostate cancer will affect 1 in 7 men. 1
The standards for screening and biopsy blindly sample the prostate without knowing where the cancer is, if any. We're here to set a new standard of care with MRI-targeted fusion biopsies.

Working with a multi-disciplinary team of engineers, designers, developers, urologists, radiologists and patients, we gain a diverse range of perspectives and turn those into meaningful insights. Taking the best of both worlds, we combine ultrasound with MRI and quality materials with user-centered design to create innovative imaging tools that simplify targeted biopsies and therapy.
Compared to ultrasound imaging, MRI can be considered the “Gold Standard” for detecting lesions. MRI-targeted biopsies with Fusion Bx addresses potential sources of inaccuracy during biopsy procedures by targeting 3 key areas: prostate deformation, patient motion and registration.
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.
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.
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.
