Comparison of Strain and Shear Wave Elastography in Prostate Cancer Detection.

The aim of the study was to compare strain elastography with shear wave elastography in prostate cancer detection by comparing data gained during elastography with histological analysis after prostatectomy. Thirty patients with prostate cancer qualified for radical prostatectomy were enrolled into the study. All patients underwent transrectal strain elastography and shear wave elastography during pre-surgical evaluation.

Shear Wave Elastography in the Evaluation of the Urethral Sphincter Complex after Radical Prostatectomy.

Post-prostatectomy pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation has a significant impact on urinary continence recovery. The aim of our study was the evaluation of urethral sphincter complex using shear wave elastography in patients after radical prostatectomy, with and without postsurgical pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation. Thirty-three patients were included in the study.

Application of three-dimensional ultrasonography (3D ultrasound) to pretreatment evaluation of plastic induration of the penis (Peyronie's disease).

Aim: Peyronie's disease (PD) or plastic induration of the penis, require complete evaluation of plaques in order to decide the best therapeutic option for patient. The purpose of this study is to compare the findings of three-dimensional ultrasound (3D US) and two-dimensional ultrasound (2D US) in patients with PD.

Materials And Methods: Twenty patients with PD aged 30 to 72 years were included in study.

Elastography in prostate gland imaging and prostate cancer detection.

Transrectal prostate biopsies under ultrasonography guidance remain the gold standard for the detection of prostate cancer (PCa). Transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS), however, has a limited sensitivity in PCa detection. Prostate elastography (TRES) increases the sensitivity of a TRUS examination.
