3D Ultrasound of the Prostate

• Gives you a simultaneous sagittal, transverse and coronal view of the prostate to detect possible extra-capsular tumor extension
• Provides valuable information to plan for alternative therapies, like robotic prostatectomy and radioactive treatment of the prostate
• May make it easier to determine whether the “prostate capsule” has been penetrated, a key factor in staging
• Gives access to a new, wider range of viewing planes that are unavailable with 2D imaging

With 3D ultrasound, images can be manipulated and rotated to get the best possible view.

After these images have been saved, they can be reviewed as many times as needed. Examination and potentially diagnosis can then be achieved offline when it is most convenient for the operator and patient, leading to faster patient turnaround.
