Biomechanical modelling of the pelvic system: Improving the accuracy of the location of neoplasms in MRI-TRUS fusion prostate biopsy

An accurate knowledge of the relocation of prostate neoplasms during biopsy is of great importance to reduce the number of false negative results. Prostate neoplasms are visible in magnetic resonance images (MRI) but it is difficult for the practitioner to locate them at the time of performing a transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided biopsy.
