The ExactVu™ Micro-Ultrasound system is a new high resolution imaging system for visualizing the prostate and has been FDA, CE, and Health Canada approved for visualization and biopsy of the prostate. The PRI-MUS™ (Prostate Risk Identification for Micro-Ultrasound) protocol has previously been demonstrated to correlate with risk of prostate cancer and severity of cancer. Here we present a case where a healthy 50 year old subject with no known risk factors volunteered to test the ExactVu system and was found to harbour multiple PRI-MUS 3–5 lesions. This prompted PSA testing, biopsy and eventual diagnosis of significant prostate cancer.
