Popis: BACKGROUND The aim of the present study is to evaluate the difference in terms of feasibility and detection rate of two magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided biopsy approaches (MRI fusion versus "in-bore" MRI) in a single tertiary center. METHODS We retrospectively identified 297 patients with suspected prostate cancer who underwent MRI based target prostate biopsy (FUSION or "in-bore" approaches) between January 2016 and January 2018 in a single tertiary center. RESULTS Lesion site (peripheral vs. central) and localization (anterior vs. posterior) were equally comparable among two groups, but maximum diameter of multiparametric-MRI Index lesion was slightly superior in the in-bore MRI-GB group (14 vs. 12 mm, P=0.002). Mean random biopsy cores taken were 11.2±2.1, with 1.3±2 positive cores in FUSION-GB group. Mean number of targeted biopsy cores taken was significantly superior in the FUSION-GB group as compared to the in-bore MRI-GB group (2.6±0.7 vs.1.7±1, P
