Imaging Studies III: Computed Tomography

DefinitionComputed Tomography (CT) of the genitourinary (GU) tract is a non-invasive imaging modality that utilizes X-rays and computer processing to generate detailed cross-sectional images of the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and adjacent structures such as the adrenal glands.PurposeCT scans of the GU tract serve several diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, including:Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Diseases: Detects kidney stones, tumors, cysts, and congenital...

Area of Science:

Urology
Pathology
Medical Procedures

Context:

Prostate biopsy techniques vary, impacting patient preparation, procedure, and post-biopsy care.
Standardization of transperineal TRUS-guided prostate biopsy is needed.

Purpose:

To review and standardize transperineal TRUS-guided prostate biopsy procedures.
To provide recommendations on patient preparation, biopsy technique, and post-operative management.

Summary:

Antibiotic prophylaxis and bowel preparation are optional/advisable.
Ultrasound examination and local anesthesia are recommended.
Minimum of 8 prostate cores recommended, increasing with prostate volume.
Samples should be sent in single containers using the pre-embedding sandwich method.
Patients require evaluation for early and delayed complications.

Impact:

Aims to optimize transperineal TRUS-guided prostate biopsy protocols.
Enhances patient management and reduces potential complications.
Contributes to standardized best practices in prostate biopsy procedures.
