Elastography of the prostate in the detection of prostate cancer
Introduction This paper presents initial experience with a new Toshiba elastography imaging system used to detect prostate cancer. Since this is a preliminary evaluation, the elastography imaging procedure was performed in addition to our standard procedure of ten systematic biopsies, plus extra biopsies of suspicious areas where appropriate. The elastography images did not influence the biopsy...
متن کاملReal-time Tissue Elasticity Imaging (Elastography) for Prostate Cancer Detection
Stiffness of tissue is important information for cancer diagnosis, and it is also very commonly used for prostate cancer diagnosis. Digital rectal examination (DRE) is the easiest method to detect prostate cancer, but it has limited reproducibility, and lacks objectiveness. The positive predictive value of DRE alone has been shown to be as low as 30%. The second easiest imaging technique used f...
متن کاملImaging Cellular Proliferation in Prostate Cancer with Positron Emission Tomography
Prostate cancer remains a major public health problem worldwide. Imaging plays an important role in the assessment of disease at all its clinical phases, including staging, restaging after definitive therapy, evaluation of therapy response, and prognostication. Positron emission tomography with a number of biologically targeted radiotracers has been demonstrated to have potential diagnostic and...
متن کاملSignal Intensity of High B-value Diffusion-weighted Imaging for the Detection of Prostate Cancer
Background: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a main component of multiparametric MRI for prostate cancer detection. Recently, high b value DWI has gained more attention because of its capability for tumor characterization. Objective: To assess based on histopathological findings of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy as a reference, an...
متن کاملPSA Screening in Prostate Cancer
Introduction: Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in Iranian men. PSA(prostate specific antigen) screening is a controversial issue because PSA screening leads to diagnose of patients with low risk prostate cancer who not only do not benefit from treatment but also suffer from complication caused by treatment. On the other hand, without prostate cancer screening, the rate of meta...
