The role of pathology correlation approach in prostate cancer index lesion detection and quantitative analysis with multiparametric MRI
2015, Academic RadiologyCitation Excerpt :It is possible for such samples to be marked as to their location within the gland, thus facilitating spatial correlation with the imaging based on the prostate zonal anatomy (36). However, consistency of the tissue core labeling differs across the institutions, and sampling error can be quite large: up to 46% of patients can have false-negative results on repeat sextant biopsy (37–39). In conclusion, WMP is necessary to accurately localize all PCa index lesions.
