introduction of a tiny transducer into the rectum to visualize the prostate gland with high frequency sound waves.
An ultrasound guidance tool utilizing sound waves for viewing the prostate for scans (pictures) and for viewing the placement of the seeds during the seeding procedure.
The ultrasound picture is taken by an ultrasound "probe'' that is inserted into the rectum, which is right next to the prostate gland. The probe transmits pictures of the prostate onto a screen, just like watching the prostate on a TV.
The use of sound waves to detect cancer. An instrument is inserted into the rectum. Waves bounce off the prostate and the pattern of the echoes produced is converted into a picture by a computer.
a procedure that utilizes sound waves to create an image of the colon for diagnostic purposes.
a method of imaging the prostate by inserting an ultrasound probe into the rectum
Imaging method to view the prostate that uses echoes of ultrasound waves, generated by an ultrasound probe inserted into the rectum. It is commonly used to visualize a prostate biopsy procedure.
placement of an ultrasound probe into the rectum to generate sound waves that are converted to an image of the region. It is used to visualize, diagnose, and help treat prostate cancer.
guided biopsy - procedure that sends an ultrasound (technique that bounces high-frequency radio waves off a specified area, then gathers the echo pattern and converts it to a 2-dimensional image for diagnosis) probe up through the rectum to guide a needle into the potentially cancerous area for biopsy (removal of tissue specimen for microscopic analysis).
Using sound waves produced by a device inserted into the rectum to produce a picture of the prostate.
TRUS is an imaging technique, using sound waves, that allows for visualization of the internal anatomy of the prostate gland, seminal vesicles, and prostatic urethra. The sound waves are emitted by an instrument inserted into the rectum. TRUS is used in conjunction with a needle biopsy and is used to guide the needle to the desired sampling location.
A procedure used to examine the prostate. An instrument is inserted into the rectum, and sound waves bounce off the prostate. These sound waves create echoes, which a computer uses to create a picture called a sonogram.
The use of sound waves to visualize the prostate.
Creates a video image of the prostate that allows doctors to measure the size of the prostate, plan for implantation, and select the appropriate seed.
(TRANZ-REK-tul...) TRUS. A procedure in which a probe that sends out high-energy sound waves is inserted into the rectum. The sound waves are bounced off internal tissues or organs and make echoes. The echoes form a picture of body tissue called a sonogram. TRUS is used to look for abnormalities in the rectum and nearby structures, including the prostate. Also called endorectal ultrasound.
an ultrasound probe is inserted into the rectum so that ultrasound scans of the prostate can be made.
A device using that uses sound waves to get an image of the prostate; it involves inserting a thin ultrasound probe into the rectum.
The use of sound waves to image the prostate. The sound waves are emitted by an instrument inserted into the rectum. As the waves bounce off the prostate, they create a pattern that is converted by a computer into a picture. TRUS is used to detect abnormal prostate growth and to guide a biopsy of the abnormal prostate area.
Also referred to as TRUS. This is a special kind of ultrasound test in which the sound waves are produced by a probe inserted into the rectum. In men, the structures most commonly examined with this test are the prostate, bladder, seminal vesicles and ejaculatory ducts.
(trans- rec-tul ull-truh-sound): the use of sound waves to create a picture of the prostate on a screen to help detect tumors. Also called TRUS.
The use of sound waves to create a picture of the prostate on a screen. This test may be used for screening or for helping to guide the needle for a biopsy.
A test using sound wave echoes to create an image of an organ or gland to visually detect abnormalities.
