Predictive Fusion Predictive Fusion ‘reslices’ and pre-aligns MRI images to correspond to the prostate’s orientation during biopsy. To improve precision and ease of registration, it is highly recommended to use Predictive Fusion. To use Predictive Fusion: 1 From the Contour/Re-contour screen, click the bkFusion tab, then the Begin Planning button.

You will see the virtual transducer and grid superimposed on top of the MRI image (see Fig 2-21). Place the virtual transducer in the rectum (approx. 3mm from the posterior wall of the prostate), and adjust the angle accordingly with the trackball and the Select key. Move the virtual transducer until the blue base plane is aligned with the base slice of the prostate. When the virtual transducer is in the correct location, click Save As, enter a description, then click OK.

Click on the TpBx (transperineal biopsy) option. Enter the first two letters of the patient’s name. A dropdown list under Patient Name will allow you to select the specific patient, and the remaining patient details will auto-populate. You can also enter a new Patient Name and Patient ID. A dialog box will ask you whether you want to continue with an unrecognized patient name. Click Start Procedure to begin the fusion exam. Start Procedure TpBx option

To Fuse Ultrasound and Prostate Contours 1
After starting the procedure, the most recent study (set by default at the approximate mid-gland contour) is superimposed on top of the ultrasound image. Check that correct biopsy grid is displayed on the monitor.

Click the Realignment tab to view the realignment screen. The prostate contours and the ultrasound prostate can be realigned (if necessary) in all planes and slices. Click on the desired plane, then hold the Select button and use the and buttons to rotate and move the prostate contours until they match the ultrasound prostate. Use the arrow keys to scroll through MR slices. Click the green flag icon to finish.

To Biopsy with bkFusion NOTE:
1. Avoid contour adjustments while the probe is out of plane. 2. Always relax the prostate when making adjustments to bkFusion. 3. Always verify anterior prostate registration when targeting the anterior zone, due to inherent deformation. 1 2 3 4 5

You are now ready to biopsy with bkFusion. Press the top button on the transducer (or press the Change Plane key on the keyboard) to select the sagittal plane. (Optional) Click the Hand icon to manually realign the prostate contour with the ultrasound image. Adjust the transducer until the on-screen contours match the edge of the prostate. Use the arrow keys to scroll through slices. Adjust the stepper cradle until the red target line intersects the green target (see Fig 2-34). The biopsy grid tells you where to place the needle - in this instance C, 2.0. After each biopsy, use the trackball and the Select key to place biopsy markers on core locations. For more information on taking a biopsy, please see the Advanced User Guide. The Sample box in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen counts sample numbers and their placement in the prostate.
