About the clinic
Prostate fusion biopsy at Assuta Medical Center in Tel Aviv, Israel, uses MRI-ultrasound mapping to identify suspicious tissue. This diagnostic method helps detect prostate cancer by targeting specific areas found on prior imaging. Assuta was the first hospital in Israel to receive JCI accreditation, maintaining these international safety standards since 2011.
Procedure Details and Method
The examination uses a transrectal approach where a urologist merges real-time ultrasound images with previously taken MRI scans. This fusion creates a detailed map to guide the biopsy needle accurately. The entire process takes approximately 40 minutes and is performed as an outpatient service.
- Suspicious area targeting. The biopsy focuses on lesions previously identified on an MRI scan for higher accuracy.
- Local anesthesia. The procedure is performed while the patient is awake but the area is numbed.
- Preparation requirements. Patients must bring a current urine culture result and perform an enema two hours before the test.
- Medication protocol. Antibiotics start one day before the biopsy and continue for five days to prevent infection.
- Blood thinner management. Any discontinuation of anticoagulant medication must be managed by a physician before the appointment.
- Multiple locations. Testing is available in Tel Aviv (Ramat Hahayal), Haifa, Rishon LeZion, Ashdod Kalaniyot, and Be'er Sheva.
What to Expect After the Diagnostic
Patients may experience mild bleeding in their urine or semen following the biopsy. Drinking plenty of water helps manage these common side effects. A urologist interprets the tissue samples to provide a definitive diagnosis. If a patient develops a fever over 38°C, chills, or cannot urinate, they must seek emergency medical care immediately. Most individuals can return home the same day since no general sedation is used. You can request a consultation for a prostate fusion biopsy through Bookimed to confirm availability at your preferred Assuta location.
