Ex vivo study of prostate cancer localization using rolling mechanical imaging towards minimally invasive surgery

Highlights • Rolling mechanical imaging (RMI) is a novel method for detection of malignant tissue towards minimally invasive surgery. • The accuracy was compared to commonly used methods of localizing prostate cancer. • 126 sites from 21 robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy specimens were examined...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Rolling mechanical imaging (RMI) is a novel method for detection of malignant tissue towards minimally invasive surgery. • The accuracy was compared to commonly used methods of localizing prostate cancer. • 126 sites from 21 robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy specimens were examined. • RMI had a higher sensitivity and accuracy than both DRE and MRI.
