TRUS stands for Transrectal Ultrasonography. It is a medium for capturing and creating the outlook image of the prostate gland with the help of ultrasound procedures.
The Artemis MRI/TRUS Fusion is a revolutionary imaging and 3D navigation system that provides a complete prostate biopsy management platform. The system allows the doctors to take images from the MRI and use them in conjunction with a standard ultrasound guided biopsy. The system uses robotic principles to mimic a doctors arm movements. This system increases the accuracy, robustness and reliability of performing a MRI/US Fusion Targeted Biopsy.
TRUS is suggested by doctors when they suspect a prostate cancer based on an abnormal DRE (Digital Rectal Examination), or increased PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen), and other imaging techniques. TRUS is costly, and it rarely detects prostate cancer that DRE or PSA cannot find. As an outcome, TRUS is widely taken help for guiding a biopsy, but for routine screening, it is not recommendable.

The technology includes a semi-robotic arm that allows the doctor to delivers quality samples of the most difficult areas within the prostate. The remote centre of motion minimises prostate deformation that may occur during freehand biopsies. The system also has an Accurate Motion Compensation feature that corrects for any intra-procedure patient motion
The sampling using this technology can be either automated or manual. The automated sampling enables support and time for the patient. The system has both a dense tissue mode and a thin tissue mode. These modes help the surgeon adjust the machine in accordance with the tissue density. The speed and efficiency of the machine are unmatchable.
An accurate prostate tumour diagnosis and appropriate treatment depend on the ability to efficiently perform the biopsy on specific areas of the prostate. By fusing the MRI and live ultrasound images, the doctors at Medanta can more effectively perform a targeted biopsy of select tissue. The biopsy results then lead to a more accurate diagnosis along with better information to help you make a smarter, more individualised choice about your treatment.
Preparing for a TRUS biopsy
During the treatment
After cleaning the area, the doctor will insert a thin ultrasound probe into the rectum. The doctor will identify the area to be numbed with the help of images obtained by the help of sound waves. Once the area becomes numb, the doctor will pull out the required tissues. Generally, 10 to 12 samples are taken and the procedure usually takes 10-15 minutes.
After the treatment
This technology allows the doctors at Medanta to use MRI and TRUS images to sample precise areas of the prostate and to record biopsy locations for future reference in their diagnosis and management.
