The integration of micro-ultrasound into prostate cancer screening has made the results significantly more reliable and comprehensive!
So, what are the advantages of micro-ultrasound in prostate cancer screening?
The ExactVu™ Micro-Ultrasound System is the most accurate and advanced technology available for prostate disease screening. This highly sophisticated, ultra-modern system is specifically designed to examine prostate tissue at a cellular level with 70-micron resolution.
While standard ultrasound devices operate at frequencies no higher than 6–7 MHz, the latest-generation micro-ultrasound system uses a 29 MHz frequency, giving it unparalleled resolution and superior image clarity.
Thanks to its sensitive and precise targeting system, the specialist can accurately assess whether a patient needs a biopsy. If a biopsy is necessary, the system can identify the most relevant areas for targeted sampling—significantly improving diagnostic accuracy.
As experts say, the era of blind, untargeted, and unguided prostate biopsies is over in urology!
The micro-ultrasound system offers patients 300% improved diagnostics and 300% more effective biopsies!
This cutting-edge technology has already been implemented at Guram Karazanashvili’s Urology Hub.
This means that for prostate disease screening and accurate diagnostics, patients no longer need to undergo multiple stages of testing.
In Georgia and other regional clinics where micro-ultrasound is not available, if a patient has an elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, they typically face a cascade of diagnostic procedures:
-
First, a traditional ultrasound is performed. However, this often fails to detect abnormal areas in the prostate, especially small cancerous lesions.
-
If cancer is suspected, the patient is then referred for an MRI to clarify the diagnosis.
However, even MRI cannot provide 100% accurate results, and when suspicious areas are detected, a biopsy is still required for a definitive diagnosis.
Standard (systematic) biopsy involves collecting tissue samples from 12 different areas of the prostate for microscopic analysis.
Since traditional ultrasound cannot accurately identify tumor areas, samples are taken blindly.
Even if cancer cells are not detected in such biopsies, the presence of prostate cancer cannot be entirely ruled out.
By contrast, micro-ultrasound allows for near 100% accurate diagnosis of prostate cancer, targeting only the areas of concern and avoiding unnecessary sampling.
Thus, Karazanashvili’s Robotic Center, the leading clinic in Georgia and the region, now enables men to receive high-level prostate screening using the latest micro-ultrasound technology. If necessary, targeted biopsies can be performed directly from cancer-suspect areas—without unnecessary needle punctures or discomfort!
Most importantly, micro-ultrasound helps patients save time and money!
They no longer need to visit multiple clinics, consult with various specialists, or undergo expensive MRIs.
In one clinic, in one space, during one visit, and with one doctor, patients can get a complete and accurate prostate examination.
In conclusion, micro-ultrasound is indispensable in prostate cancer screening, and at Karazanashvili’s Robotic Center, patients can undergo a cutting-edge evaluation with 300% improved diagnostics—avoiding unnecessary MRI scans and untargeted biopsies altogether.
