Anatomy as seen via ultrasound


Ultrasound anatomy of the prostate - sectional view.
Ultrasound examination of the Prostate
Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) of the prostate is the standard method used to examine and biopsy a prostate.

See all sections of the prostate

Precise biopsies largely depend on how the prostate is presented in the ultrasound image. This is why B-K Medical created Triplane scanning and developed the simultaneous biplane technique.

Triplane
Triplane combines simultaneous biplane and endfire in one transducer.

Ultrasound anatomy of the prostate - transverse section.
Simultaneous Biplane
Real-time images of the prostate in both the sagittal and transverse planes. If you see the prostate in two planes, its easier to target the sections you need for biopsies.

Endfire
For biopsies close to the apex of the prostate an endfire view, and a biopsy guide designed for use in endfire view, are ideal for precise, safe biopsies.
Sterile single-use needle guides

are available for the following transducers:
  • 8818 triplane
  • 8808e biplane
  • 8667 endfire
  • 8819 endfire

Sterile single-use needle guides means:
  • No risk for cross-contamination
  • One patient, one guide
  • Easy to use
  • Pre-assembled and ready to use
  • No need for additional preparation or cleaning following the exam
