Imaging reduces prostate cancer biopsies: study

Prostate imaging is likely sparing patients from biopsies at a rate of more than 400 a month in Australia, urologists and radiologists say.
In an analysis of data from 2007-2019 the team from the University of Melbourne found the introduction of the technology in 2012 coincided with a reduction of 355 prostate biopsies per month.
