Micro-ultrasound vs MRI for prostate cancer screening
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial compares two imaging methods, high-resolution micro-ultrasound and MRI, to see which is better at finding prostate cancer in men who have not had a biopsy before. If you are between 50 and 70 with an elevated PSA or abnormal exam, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man between 50 and 70 years old
- Your PSA level is between 3 and 20, or your doctor found something abnormal during a rectal exam
- You have never had a prostate biopsy
- You have never had prostate cancer or been treated with hormones for it in the past year
- You have not had a previous micro-ultrasound or MRI of your prostate

This trial compares two advanced imaging techniques—high-frequency micro-ultrasound and multiparametric MRI—to guide biopsies for men who may have aggressive prostate cancer. The goal is to see which method better detects cancer while reducing unnecessary biopsies.
This trial tests a new type of ultrasound, called micro-ultrasound, to see if it can better find significant prostate cancer in men who are on active surveillance. If you qualify, this could help your doctor decide if your cancer is truly low-risk.
This trial compares a new micro-ultrasound technique to standard ultrasound during prostate biopsy, using MRI results as a guide. It aims to see if the newer method finds cancer more accurately.
This study is testing an approach to find prostate cancer earlier in men who may be at higher risk. If you fit the criteria, you may get an mpMRI scan before undergoing a prostate biopsy to check for cancer.
This study tests a new urine test combined with an MRI to find prostate cancer early. It may help avoid unnecessary biopsies.
This trial compares two ways to guide a prostate biopsy using MRI images, to see which better detects clinically significant prostate cancer in men with suspicious MRI findings.
