Abstract:
Multiple treatments are proposed to cure prostate carcinoma. Radical prostatectomy is the classical option for localized tumor. However radiotherapy can be proposed in such circumstances with the argument of a less invasive procedure with similar results. High Intensity Focalised Ultrasound (HIFU) is a new technique available for similar staging of the carcinoma with good results. Follow up is based on biological evaluation of PSA. Imaging studies are required only in cases of abnormal level. Endorectal Ultrasonography with biopsies is useful after radical surgery. Indications for MRI study is mainly to differentiate a localized from a general recurrence.

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
