Table 4.

Per-patient analysis of encounters with ≥3 MRI-US fusion targets, stratified by MRI suspicion level. The proportion of cases where axial or sagittal cores upgraded the overall Gleason score otherwise is shown, as well as the proportion of cases where the highest Gleason score was obtained only from the highest suspicion target(s).

MRI suspicion level Number of encounters Cancer detection rate, % Axial cores upgraded Gleason score, % Sagittal cores upgraded Gleason score, % Highest suspicion targets upgraded Gleason score, %
Low 62 51.6 3.2 3.2 8.1
Moderate 356 65.2 5.3 7.3 20.8
High 92 85.9 10.9 6.5 26.1
