Каразанашвили Н.Г. “Биопсия простаты под микро ультразвуковым наведением”
Presentation by Dr. Nino Karazanashvili, a young physician at the Karazanashvili Robotic Center, at an international congress
Professor Guram Karazanashvili’s Urology Center – the leading urological center in the region! Presentation of the fantastic results of micro-ultrasound and targeted biopsy, based on our own clinical experience!
Experts consider the introduction of micro-ultrasound imaging in urology to mark a new era, as micro-ultrasound, being the latest and most accurate diagnostic method, has brought about a revolutionary breakthrough in diagnosing prostate diseases, including cancer.
The latest micro-ultrasound system was first introduced in 2015 at the annual conference of the American Urological Association in New Orleans. Israeli clinics began using this cutting-edge technology in 2018, and thanks to the Karazanashvili Robotic Center, micro-ultrasound arrived in Georgia in 2019! Once again, Guram Karazanashvili’s Urology Hub proved to be a regional leader.
At the region’s leading clinic, the Karazanashvili Robotic Center, patients can now undergo prostate cancer screening using the best and latest global standard!
It is worth noting that in the CIS and Eastern Europe, the Karazanashvili Robotic Center remains the first and so far the only clinic to perform prostate disease screening using state-of-the-art micro-ultrasound technology.
Only at the Karazanashvili Robotic Center, covering Eastern Europe and the Caucasus, is it possible to achieve prostate disease diagnostics that are 300% more accurate, performed in real time, quickly, painlessly, and most importantly, with the highest precision!
It’s especially remarkable that prostate examinations performed with this ultra-modern micro-ultrasound device match the diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)!
So what advantages does micro-ultrasound have compared to conventional (traditional) ultrasound?
The ExactVu Micro-Ultrasound System is specifically designed for diagnosing prostate diseases and guiding targeted biopsies of the prostate gland.
The diagnostic capabilities of micro-ultrasound far surpass those of standard ultrasound systems. Specifically, the ability to visualize tissue and differentiate structural changes is improved 3–4 times, achieving accuracy comparable to MRI. This means that, compared to images obtained through traditional ultrasound, diagnostic quality using micro-ultrasound improves by 300%.
It is well known that precise diagnosis is the foundation for effective treatment of oncological diseases. This is particularly important in prostate cancer, which is a diffuse pathology that requires high-resolution visualization during diagnosis.
With the help of this advanced technology, urologists can thoroughly examine the prostate gland, closely observe suspicious areas, and perform targeted biopsies with maximum accuracy.
The ExactVu system is the world’s first and unique platform for comprehensive urological diagnostics. Its capabilities are further expanded by specialized add-ons. For instance, Mikro Doppler provides exceptional sensitivity, allowing doctors to assess the prostate’s blood flow at the level of even the tiniest capillaries. The FusionVu software component enables detailed data analysis, while the PRI-MUS protocol helps easily distinguish and identify healthy versus pathological prostate tissues.
As a result, micro-ultrasound enables prostate cancer diagnostics with virtually 100% accuracy!
Why is micro-ultrasound so important for patients?
-
This new technology allows patients to undergo a comprehensive prostate exam and, if needed, a targeted biopsy in a single visit;
-
The micro-ultrasound imaging session is quick and painless;
-
This unique method is particularly important for patients with claustrophobia who cannot undergo MRI scanning, and for those who have allergies or kidney issues, making contrast agent injection risky.
Most importantly, as experts point out, the era of blind, unguided, and non-targeted biopsies in urology has ended! Micro-ultrasound provides patients with diagnostics that are 300% more accurate and biopsies that are 300% more effective!
By implementing this ultra-modern technology – micro-ultrasound – Georgia has joined the ranks of the world’s leading countries that diagnose and treat prostate diseases with the highest precision and effectiveness. This is thanks to the region’s leading clinic – Guram Karazanashvili’s Urology Hub!
As always, the Karazanashvili Robotic Center, like Europe’s top clinics, remains at the forefront of the latest medical advances! Prostate cancer screening at this leading regional clinic is now performed according to a new global standard!
