Fusion Bx 2.0 is intended for use by physicians for enhanced visualization of ultrasound imaging of the prostate in clinic and hospital settings. It provides 2D and 3D image visualization including review, manipulation, and analysis tools. Additional features include patient data management, multiplanar reconstruction, 3D image registration, segmentation, image annotation, and to record the biopsies were acquired during the procedure. This device will assist clinicians in planning and performing image-quided interventional procedures such as biopsies and placing instruments and markers in the device is intended for adult men with suspected prostate disorders such as cancer or other prostate problems. The system will integrate into existing workflow by connecting to standard ultrasound equipment. This system will not prevent the clinician from using the standard ultrasound equipment.

Fusion Bx 2.0 is designed to display the 2D live video received from commercially available ultrasound machines and use this 2D video to reconstruct a 3D ultrasound image volume. The system is designed to work with clinicians' existing ultrasound machines, transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) probes, commercially available needles, needle quides/templates and needle qun combination. Additional software features include patient data management, multi-planar reconstruction, segmentation, image measurements and 3D image registration. Fusion Bx 2.0 offers the physician additional 3D information for assessing prostate abnormalities, planning and implementing biopsy procedures. The additional image processing features are generated with minimal changes to previous TRUS probe-based procedures, and the physician always has access to the live 2D ultrasound image during prostate assessment or biopsy procedure.
