Transabdominal ultrasonotomography of prostatic carcinoma
Abstract:
In a series of 134 patients with histologically verified prostatic carcinoma, ultrasonotomography, using the transvesical technique, yielded positive results in 97.0% of the cases; in 11.9% inaccessible localization made rectal palpation of the tumour impossible. Ultrasonographic examination is an important contribution to determination of the extent of a tumour whose palpation accessibility is limited and which can be demonstrated only indirectly by radiography. It allows more exact indication of the form of treatment and a non-aggressive follow-up of its effect.

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
