Ultrasonography of Prostate- An Observational Study
نویسنده
چکیده
Prostate is of great clinical importance and ultrasonography is an ideal diagnostic aid. High frequency transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) provides a remarkably detailed view of the prostate. This study is aimed at demonstrating the ultrasonographic changes in the human prostate disorders during successive physiological changes of growth. This was an observational study done in Regional cancer center (RCC), Trivandrum. Ultrasonographic anatomy of human prostate was done at RCC, Trivandrum. Sonogram of 40 cases in different decades of growth was observed. Internal Anatomy and sonographic changes of the images were studied. The echotextural pattern of the normal prostate, hyperplastic prostate, abscess, cyst and carcinoma prostate are described and discussed. Transition zone is enlarged in hyperplasia and carcinoma cast hypoechoic shadows in peripheral zone. Volume of the prostate increases with increase in age.

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.

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...

Background and Objective: Non-specific granulomatous prostatitis is an uncommon diffuse inflammatory condition of the prostate. It is important because it may be mistaken for prostatic carcinoma. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of non-specific granulomatous prostatitis (NSGP) and comparing the results of transrectal ultrasonography, serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) ...

Background and Objective: Prostate cancer is considered as one of the most common malignancies in males. Despite the decreasing trend during the past decade, the incidence continues to rise in adolescents worldwide. Recently, new emerging technologies beside TRUS-guided prostate biopsy were introduced and showed high potential in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. The current st...
متن کاملمقایسه "نسبت PSA به حجم بافت بینابینی" با "دانسیتهPSA" در پیشگویی سرطان پروستات
Introduction: Prostatic specific antigen (PSA) is an excellent tumor marker, but it is not specific for prostate cancer. We evaluated the accuracy of PSA adjusted for transition zone volume calculated by transrectal ultrasonography in predicting prostate cancer in men compared with PSA density. Material and Methods: PSA adjusted for transition zone volume was obtained from 100 patients who u...
