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.

Together we are stronger...
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.
A few guiding principles
Good design starts with form and function, great design embodies the principles upon which it is built. Informed by our end users, our products are designed around three key pillars:
Accuracy
Reliably targets lesions using MRI-ultrasound fusion
Compared to ultrasound imaging, MRI can be considered the “Gold Standard” for detecting lesions. 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 101
Fusion biopsy technology 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.
For Physicians
Fusion Bx strikes the optimal balance between accuracy and efficiency.

How Does Prostate Movement Affect an MRI-Targeted Fusion Biopsy?
What causes prostate movement during a biopsy? Prostate movement can be extremely difficult to determine because it can deform and dislocate independently from surrounding structures
