Summary
Rationale: The current limitations in prostate cancer diagnostics, due to lack of accuracy of
the available techniques, lead to over- and undertreatment for a significant fraction of
patients with prostate cancer. Multiparametric ultrasound (mpUS), a new imaging modality
combining different ultrasound parameters, heralds the potential for an accurate
imaging-based diagnostic approach accessible to the community at large but formal validation
of mpUS against final pathology results are still lacking.
Objective: To validate mpUS as imaging modality for detection and localization of prostate
cancer by direct correlation with histopathology of radical prostatectomy specimens
