Summary
High-frequency transrectal ultrasound (HF-TRUS) offers a cost-effective alternative to MRI for monitoring vaginal cancer during radiotherapy. This technique accurately tracks tumor changes, matching MRI results for improved patient management.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Radiology
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Vaginal malignancy is rare with a poor prognosis.
- MRI is the standard for staging and follow-up but has limitations.
- High-frequency transrectal ultrasound (HF-TRUS) is explored as an alternative imaging modality.

Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
