Targeting Biopsies with MRI-US Fusion
This video discusses how MIM Software is collaborating with Nuada Medical, Dr. Ferdinand Bianco, and Andros Mannenkliniek to improve prostate cancer diagnostics and MRI fusion biopsy.
1. Import
- Delivers rapid data transfers to the bkFusion™ application within the bk3000.
- Seamless image retrieval from PACS, external drives, and MIM Software's integrated cloud storage solution, MIMcloud®.
- MIMcloud enables you to manage historic images important in the management of the Active Surveillance (AS) population.
2. Analyze
- Automatic image linking to an easy-to-read workspace and one-click access to contouring and assessment tools.
- Simultaneous assessment of initial and repeat MRI studies important for evaluating the AS population over time.
- Urology-focused output images combined with BK Ultrasound promises a guided point-and-shoot biopsy.
3. Predict
- Predictive Fusion is enabled by MIM ReSlicer® technology and its ability to improve the efficiency of MRI fusion biopsy.
- MIM ReSlicer "reslices" the 3D MRI prostate volume acquired in the supine position and reorients it to match the live prostate image in LLD or lithotomy.
- By reorienting the prostate in this manner, Radiology produces near-symmetry of the MRI volume with live ultrasound at the time of fusion, thus delivering reduced probe dwell time, needle punctures, and biopsy procedure length for the urologist.

4. Report
- Produce regions of interest to be sampled with both image data sets and slice-by-slice reports.
- Customization of all reporting and image sets each catered to the demands of your referral sources.
- Autonomy of the radiologist to deliver the results through PACS, external drives, or MIMcloud.
- MIMcloud allows the radiologist to be the archive and quantification source as AS patients return for reassessment.

One of the great and unique things about MIM Symphony is that it is a pathway solution. It can be implemented at the beginning when the PSA is high and also 10, 15 years later when that prostate is being reimaged. The software not only renders the whole process more efficient, but actually makes the radiologist’s life easier.”
