Summary


This dataset was derived from tracked biopsy sessions using the Artemis biopsy system, many of which included image fusion with MRI targets. Patients received a 3D transrectal ultrasound scan, after which nonrigid registration (e.g. “fusion”)  was performed between real-time ultrasound and preoperative MRI, enabling biopsy cores to be sampled from MR regions of interest. Most cases also included sampling of systematic biopsy cores using a 12-core digital template. The Artemis system tracked targeted and systematic core locations using encoder kinematics of a mechanical arm, and recorded locations relative to the Ultrasound scan. MRI biopsy coordinates were also recorded for most cases. 

MRI targets were defined using multiparametric MRI, e.g. t2-weighted, diffusion-weighted, and perfusion-weighted sequences, and scored on a Likert-like scale with close correspondence to PIRADS version 2. t2-weighted MRI was used to trace ROI contours, and is the only sequence provided in this dataset. MR imaging was performed on a 3 Tesla Trio, Verio or Skyra scanner (Siemens, Erlangen, Germany). A transabdominal phased array was used in all cases, and an endorectal coil was used in a subset of cases. The majority of pulse sequences are 3D T2:SPC, with TR/TE 2200/203, Matrix/FOV 256 × 205/14 × 14 cm, and 1.5mm slice spacing. Some cases were instead 3D T2:TSE with TR/TE 3800–5040/101, and a small minority were imported from other institutions (various T2 protocols.)

Ultrasound scans were performed with Hitachi Hi-Vision 5500 7.5 MHz or the Noblus C41V 2-10 MHz end-fire probe. 3D scans were acquired by rotation of the end-fire probe 200 degrees about its axis, and interpolating to resample the volume with isotropic resolution.

Patients with suspicion of prostate cancer due to elevated PSA and/or suspicious imaging findings were consecutively accrued. Any consented patient who underwent or had planned to receive a routine, standard-of-care prostate biopsy at the UCLA Clark Urology Center was included.
