OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the use of a patient-specific magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI)-based prostate mold to generate histologic sections that directly correlate to axial MRI
slices in a patient with anteriorly located prostate cancer. Anteriorly located prostate cancer
has traditionally been difficult to detect on digital rectal examination and transrectal
ultrasound-guided biopsy. Multiparametric MRI has potential as a valuable tool for the
diagnosis and focal treatment of prostate cancer. A significant difficulty to date has been …
