Transrectal ultrasound for monitoring murine orthotopic prostate tumor.
BACKGROUND The mouse orthotopic prostate tumor model has been recognized as an ideal preclinical animal model simulating the anatomical and biological milieu of the prostate. In comparison with the subcutaneous tumor model, the only disadvantage of this model is the difficulty of chronological tumor growth monitoring. We have applied recent endoluminal ultrasound technology, transrectal ultraso...
متن کاملApplication of Bland-Altman Method in Comparing Transrectal and Transabdominal Ultrasonography for Estimating Prostate Volume
Background: Estimating prostate volume using less invasive transabdominal ultrasonography (TAUS) instead of transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) is of interest in terms of identifying their agreement level. Previous reports on this subject, applied general correlation coefficient as the level of agreement. This study uses Bland-Altman method to quantify TAUS and TRUS agreement on estimating prost...
متن کاملMapping of transrectal ultrasonographic prostate biopsies: quality control and learning curve assessment by image processing
OBJECTIVE Mapping of transrectal ultrasonographic (TRUS) prostate biopsies is of fundamental importance for either diagnostic purposes or the management and treatment of prostate cancer, but the localization of the cores seems inaccurate. Our objective was to evaluate the capacities of an operator to plan transrectal prostate biopsies under 2-dimensional TRUS guidance using a registration algor...
متن کاملTransrectal ultrasonographic diagnosis of jejunoileal intussusception in a cow
422 peer reviewed Intussusception is defined as the invagination of a portion of bowel into the lumen of the adjacent segment of bowel (Smith, 1985). Intussusception, one of the causes of intestinal obstruction, is not a common gastrointestinal condition in cattle (Pearson and Pinsent, 1977; Smith, 1985; Smith, 1990) and is usually seen in calves less than two months old (Constable et al., 1997...
متن کاملComparison 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...
