Sonohysterography Sonohysterography has two parts. A transvaginal ultrasound exam is done first. Next, a fluid is injected through the cervix into the uterus, and an ultrasound exam is done again. • In a transvaginal ultrasound exam, an ultrasound transducer—a slender, handheld device —is placed in the vagina. It sends out sound waves that are used to make images of the internal organs. These images are shown on a screen. • After the first transvaginal ultrasound exam, the transducer is removed. A speculum is placed in the vagina.

Transrectal Ultrasonography of the Prostate Elastrography is an ultrasound tool that is capable of mapping tissue stiffness of the prostate. There are 2 elastography techniques: quasi-static and shear-wave.Quasi-static technique involves the analysis of prostate tissue deformation before and after compression by the ultrasound transducer.

Tests for Prostate Cancer Transrectal ultrasound is often used to guide the needle to the correct spot. A prostate biopsy is usually done with a spring-loaded needle. The needle quickly enters the prostate gland and removes a tissue sample. Between 6 and 12 samples are taken from different areas of the prostate. The biopsy can also be done with a needle guide attached to your doctor's finger. He or she inserts the finger into your rectum. Then the needle slides along the guide, through the wall of the rectum, and into the prostate gland.

Transurethral Electro-Vaporization of the Prostate (TUEVAP) Transurethral Electro-Vaporization of the Prostate (TUEVAP) Transurethral electro-vaporization of the prostate (TUEVAP) is a newer version of the transurethral electro-resection of the prostate (TURP). Instead of using an electrical current loop as is done in the TURP procedure, a TUEVAP uses a roller ball to heat the prostate tissue so that it is reduced to vapor. During the process, the small blood vessels in the prostate are sealed off.

Brachytherapy - Patient Handbook A volume study is an important initial step in the preparation for your prostate seed implantation. It provides the picture measurements of your prostate for the Dosimetry Plan, a calculation of the number of seeds and their precise placement, in order to deliver the prescribed dosage of radiation to your prostate.

- Once the prostate is examined in its entirety in this plane the probe is turned 90degrees in a sagittal plane. The probe is angled from one side across to the other. A volume is taken by measuring height x length in the sagittal plane and x width in the axial plane and multiply by 0.52.

- Transperineal template biopsy involves the insertion of many fine needles through the perineum (the skin between the scrotum and the anus) in order to obtain tissue samples from the prostate gland for testing.

What is a Transrectal Ultrasound (TRUS)? Additionally a TRUS can be used to help guide a doctor with other medical procedures such as a prostate biopsy. A TRUS is used as a guide during a biopsy to collect a sample of cells or tissues from the site of the abnormality to be examined under a microscope to determine if cancer is present in the prostate.

Prostate biopsy Passing the needle through the wall of the rectum (transrectal biopsy). This is the most common way of performing a prostate biopsy. Inserting the needle through the area of skin between the anus and scrotum (transperineal biopsy). A small cut is made in the area of skin (perineum) between the anus and the scrotum.

Benign Prostate Disease A prostate problem is most often diagnosed because of the symptoms that it causes. Your doctor will also do a physical examination called a digital rectal exam, or DRE. Other tests can be done to measure the urine flow, which can help the doctor decide how much the prostate is blocking the urine stream.

- Another study is now being conducted in Japan, however, like the U.S. study, it is still in a very early stage. The goal of high intensity focused ultrasound when used as a treatment for prostate. cancer, is to destroy all the prostate tissue.

Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) How a prostate biopsy is done using a TRUS. Doctors can use a TRUS to guide a needle into an abnormal area to collect a sample of cells or tissue. The sample of tissue is then examined under a microscope to check for cancer. The doctor places a needle next to the ultrasound probe.

Sonohysterogram or Hysterosonogram A vaginal ultrasound probe is then placed into the vagina. Through the catheter, a small amount of saline (sterile salt water) is injected into the uterine cavity to separate the walls. During a sonohysterogram, the ultrasound probe can be rotated to show the long axis of the uterus or a transverse axis. In the long axis, the uterine cavity appears long and ovoid.

Imaging in Prostate Cancer Transrectal ultrasound allows the delineation of prostate gland anatomy; two distinct areas can be identified comprising the inner gland (periurethral and transition zone glandular tissue) and the outer gland (central and peripheral zone glandular tissue).

Medical Dictionary If you are having a transabdominal ultrasound, your doctor will ask you to drink 4 to 6 glasses of juice or water about an hour before the test to fill your bladder. A full bladder pushes the intestines (which contain air) out of the way of the pelvic organs. This makes the ultrasound picture clearer.

Medical Dictionary Why It Is Done. For men and women, pelvic ultrasound may be done to: 1  Find the cause of blood in the urine (hematuria). 2  An ultrasound of the kidneys may also be done. 3  Find the cause of urinary problems. 4  Look at the size of the bladder before and after urination. pelvic ultrasound looks at the bladder and: 1  The ovaries, uterus, cervix, and fallopian tubes of a woman (female organs). 2  The prostate gland and seminal vesicles of a man (male organs).
