AB  - For much of the 1990s, transrectal ultrasound systematic biopsy was the standard approach for prostate cancer diagnosis. However, in the past decade multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging, multiparametric ultrasound and image fusion targeting have come to the fore. Here we present the state-of-the-art diagnostic strategies in prostate cancer detection and examine the case for target-only biopsy, as well as the benefits and limitations.
