Prostatic diseases and cancer present a growing health problem in western societies, and strategies for prevention and early detection need to be developed and rigorously tested. Transrectal ultrasonography-with or without biopsy-has helped clinicians understand the prostate anatomy and the etiology of prostatic diseases. Fully illustrated, the Handbook of Transrectal Ultrasound and Biopsy of the Prostate presents the fundamentals of transrectal sonography, such as the physics of ultrasound and equipment details. It focuses on the practicalities of scanning and biopsy, thus equipping the ultrasonographer or uroradiologist with the skills to set up and run a prostate assessment clinic.
