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 BK Medical created triplane imaging 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, it's 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:

  • Prostate Triplane
  • Prostate Biplane
  • Endovaginal (can be used for prostate)

Sterile single-use needle guides mean:

  • No risk of 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
