Abstract

To develop and validate on a simulator a learnable technique to decrease deviation of biopsied cores from the template schema during freehand, side‐fire systematic prostate biopsy (sPBx) with the goal of reducing prostate biopsy (PBx) false‐negatives, thereby facilitating earlier sampling, diagnosis and treatment of clinically significant prostate cancer.
