Seeing the tumor on the 3D prostate

The patient's prostate in real 3D: tumor by sector, grade by color and volume by the circle.

Objective

By the end, you will know how to read ProstPlanAI's three-dimensional prostate — where the tumor is, its histologic grade and volume — and use it to explain the disease to the patient.

Clinical scenario

Biopsy numbers are abstract to the patient. The 3D prostate turns the report into an anatomic image anyone understands — and one that guides the surgical decision side by side.

Step by step in the app

  1. 1

    Fill in or import the biopsy

    Each positive sector becomes a sphere placed at the corresponding anatomic point of the prostate.

  2. 2

    Read the color

    The color of each sphere is the Gleason grade: green 3+3, yellow 4+3, orange and red the more aggressive grades.

  3. 3

    Read the size

    The size of the circle tracks the involved volume — the greater the percentage of the core, the larger the sphere.

  4. 4

    See the MRI lesion

    The pulsing blue sphere is the PI-RADS target; the green ring marks the targeted-biopsy sector.

  5. 5

    Rotate and show the patient

    The zones (PZ, TZ, CZ), the sides (R/L) and the risk bars help explain why the plan changes from one side to the other.

Clinical pearls

  • The visualization is generated from the same data that feed PRECE — image and calculation speak the same language.
  • Rotating the model in front of the patient improves understanding and informed consent.
