Key learnings from concordant systematic biopsies in prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography-guided prostate biopsies: Enhancing targeting accuracy.

While PET-TB can simplify prostate biopsy and reduce invasiveness by core number, SB cannot be omitted yet due to potential PET-TB targeting errors. Factors such as limited spatial resolution and fusion inaccuracies contribute to the need for SB. Standardization in reporting schemes currently cannot compensate for targeting errors highlighting the need for refinement.
