Rates of severe infection after transrectal ultrasound-guided (TRUS) prostate biopsy that require hospitalization are on the rise, a population-based Swedish study shows. "Over 100,000 biopsies are ...

Biopsies guided by high resolution ultrasound are as effective as those using MRI in diagnosing prostate cancer, an international clinical trial has shown. The technology, called micro-ultrasound, is ...

Povidone-iodine cleansing plus formalin disinfection of the needle is a "simple, low-cost, and effective" nonantibiotic strategy to decrease infectious complications following transrectal ultrasound ...

Investigators ran a simulation of a hypothetical group of 65-year-old men who were at risk for the cancer, as indicated by their prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. The costs and benefits of ...

A transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) of the prostate may also be called a prostate sonogram or endorectal ultrasound. A doctor usually performs a TRUS to help diagnose prostate cancer or detect prostate ...

Microultrasonography for prostate biopsy detected clinically significant cancer at rates comparable to MRI-guided approaches. Detection rates for clinically insignificant cancers did not differ among ...

A trial found no meaningful difference in detection of clinically significantly prostate cancer between multiparametric MRI-based and microultrasound-based biopsy techniques.

A research team from Harbin Institute of Technology has proposed a novel and effective robot system for ultrasound-guided prostate percutaneous intervention. The 8-joint robot system can realize a ...
