Method of guiding prostate biopsy location |
| 摘要 |
A method of analyzing a plurality of biopsy cores extracted from a plurality of respective biopsy locations in a prostate is disclosed. The method comprises: measuring a level of a chemical element in each of the biopsy cores, and generating a chemical element map of at least a portion of the prostate based on the levels and the respective biopsy locations. In some embodiments, the method determines at least one additional biopsy location for a future biopsy in the prostate. |

1. A method of analyzing a plurality of biopsy cores extracted from a plurality of respective biopsy locations in a prostate, the analysis being for determining a future biopsy location in the prostate, the method comprising:
measuring a level of zinc in each of said biopsy cores; associating to each biopsy location at least one zinc level measured from a respective core, thereby generating a zinc map of at least a portion of the prostate based on said levels and said respective biopsy locations; calculating a gradient of zinc level over said zinc map; and using said gradient for determining at least one additional biopsy location for a future biopsy in the prostate. |
