    • A Retrospective Follow-up Study of Patients with Negative Multiparametric Prostate MRI 

      Jensen, Audun Bakke (Master thesis, 2023)
      Bakgrunn: Det er ikke allment akseptert at det er trygt og ønskelig å avstå fra biopsi i tilfeller av negativ multiparametrisk MR (mpMR) av prostata hos biopsinaive menn. Denne studien er en retrospektiv oppfølgingsstudie ...
