abstract = {In the emerging field of MRI in prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis, it has become clear that targeted biopsy with MRI guidance has additional value over systematic transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsies (TRUS-GB) alone. The MRI targeted biopsy approach increased the diagnostic yield of high-grade PCa, while concomitantly reducing the number of biopsy cores and the detection of low-grade PCa (1,2). Consequently, the question arises if in current clinical practice the TRUS-GB could be reduced or even omitted from the MRI targeted diagnostic process.},
