Transrectal prostate sonography is a valuable tool for detecting, staging, and guiding biopsies for prostate cancer. This review covers its current applications and clinical experience.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) is a key imaging modality in urology.
  • Its role in prostate cancer management is well-established.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current status of transrectal prostate sonography.
  • To discuss its clinical applications in prostate cancer detection, staging, and biopsy guidance.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of transrectal prostate sonography.
  • Clinical experience of the author.

Main Results:

  • Transrectal sonography is effective for visualizing the prostate.
  • It aids in identifying suspicious lesions for biopsy.
  • It assists in assessing the local extent of prostate cancer.
