Predicting pubic arch interference in prostate brachytherapy on transrectal ultrasonography-computed tomography fusion images

We investigated the usefulness of the fusion image created by transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) and large-bore computed tomography (CT) for predicting pubic arch interference (PAI) during prostate seed brachytherapy. The TRUS volume study was performed in 21 patients, followed by large-bore computed tomography of patients in the lithotomy position. Then, we created TRUS-CT fusion images using ...

Transrectal Ultrasound-guided Prostate Brachytherapy

Transrectal ultrasonography of the prostate.

Transrectal prostatic ultrasonography has been performed in 203 patients within the last year. This new diagnostic modality has proven reliable in quantitating decrease in volume of the primary tumor following therapy in 71% of patients with prostatic carcinoma (10 of 14 patients) in whom long-term follow-up is available. In 12 patients staged prior to radical prostatectomy, prostatic ultrasono...

Prevalence of Idiopathic Osteosclerosis on Cone Beam Computed Tomography Images

Objectives: This study was performed to investigate the prevalence of idiopathic osteosclerosis on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of patients. Methods: In this descriptive, cross-sectional study, 240 CBCT scans of patients (125 women, 115 men) referred to a private oral and maxillofacial radiology clinic in Tehran in 2013 were selected and evaluated. Presence of idiopathic osteosc...

Comparison of Transabdominal and Transrectal Ultrasonography of the Prostate Gland in Dogs

Objective- To compare transabdominal (TA) and transrectal (TR) ultrasonography of the prostate gland. Design- Experimental study. Animals- 10 intact male dogs that required euthanasia for reasons other than prostatic disease. Procedures- Prostatic length (L), width (W) and height (H) were measured in T A (L1, W1 and H1) and TR (L2 and H2...
