KYOTO, Japan, Feb. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - Exact Imaging, the world's leader in high-resolution micro-ultrasound systems enabling real-time imaging and biopsy guidance for the prostate, and its ExactVu micro-ultrasound system will be featured prominently at the 11th International Symposium on Focal Therapy and Imaging in Prostate and Kidney Cancer in Kyoto, Japan from February 9 – 11th, 2019. There will a main talk on the Applications for Focal Therapy using 29 MHz Micro-Ultrasound (Dr. Sangeet Ghai) and two oral poster presentations on "A Multi-Institutional Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Novel First-Generation High-Resolution Micro-Ultrasound with Conventional Frequency Ultrasound for Transrectal Prostate Biopsy" (Ghai et al.) and "A Prospective Validation of the Diagnostic Accuracy of PRI-MUS for Prostate Cancer Risk Identification" (Luger at al.). In addition, 11 posters citing the ExactVu micro-ultrasound will be presented during the conference. Exact Imaging will also be exhibiting the ExactVu platform, along with the FusionVu application during the commercial exhibition. The conference and exhibit will be held at the Kyoto Hotel Okura in Kyoto, Japan.

"We are proud that ExactVu micro-ultrasound continues to build strong adoption worldwide and that our clinical evidence base continues to amass from leading centers of excellence through to smaller community urology practices," says Randy AuCoin, Exact Imaging's President and CEO. "The ExactVu micro-ultrasound system provides the highest real-time resolution for targeted prostate biopsies and the results being generated across our extensive network of customers shows the utility of the system for improving practitioners' abilities to visualize and guide their targeted biopsies".

The following posters citing the clinical utility of the ExactVu micro-ultrasound system will be presented at the conference:
