Transrectal Elastosonography

Transrectal elastrosnography (TRUS) may be a way of making a picture of the prostate using sound waves. In conventional ultrasound procedures, a search placed against the skin sends painless, ultra-high-frequency sound waves into the body. Because the waves strike internal organs, they produce echo patterns that a computer converts into images (sonograms) on a video screen. Ultrasound tests are far more sophisticated than they won’t to be. For instance, in TRUS, the doctor places a search, called the ultrasound transducer, into the rectum. Painless sound waves scan the prostate in two planes. The resulting pictures (see Figure 1 below) often function a guide for a biopsy of the prostate, helping to pinpoint suspicious areas.
