Featured products for prostate cancer diagnosis
DynaCAD Prostate
High-quality fusion guided procedures start in radiology, and DynaCAD offers advanced visualization tools for real-time analysis, review and reporting of multi-parametric MR studies
DynaCAD Urology
DynaCAD Urology provides urologists with an easy way to store, review and manage comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic data. Create time and workflow efficiencies in your prostate cancer care program.
UroNav
UroNav is designed to support you with image guidance during prostate biopsies and focal therapy procedures. It fuses diagnostic MR images of the prostate with live ultrasound images for guided procedures in real time.
Digital pathology
Our clinical solutions can enhance detection and improve the patient experience by reducing unnecessary biopsies and potentially reducing post-procedure complications. Digital pathology saves time and resources through streamlined collaborative features and case management tools.
“The combination of MRI and ultrasound fusion biopsy is extremely powerful. This technology is too good to ignore.”
