Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) or prostate ultrasound scan involves using a small ultrasound probe that is inserted into the rectum to obtain detailed images of the prostate gland. The sound waves emitted by the probe bounce off the prostate and other tissues, creating images that are displayed on a monitor.
TRUS can accurately measure the dimensions and volume of the prostate, which is essential for diagnosing conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
The images can reveal any irregularities in the shape or symmetry of the prostate, which may indicate the presence of nodules, cysts, or tumors.
TRUS can show the internal anatomy of the prostate, including the peripheral zone, central zone, and transitional zone. This detailed view helps identify areas that may require further investigation.
The images also provide information about the tissues surrounding the prostate, such as the seminal vesicles, bladder neck, and rectum. This helps in assessing the spread of any disease beyond the prostate.
During a biopsy, TRUS images help guide the needle to the precise location of suspicious areas within the prostate, ensuring accurate sampling.
High-resolution images help detect prostate cancer by identifying areas of abnormal tissue density or irregular structure.
The images can show inflammation or infection in the prostate.
TRUS can evaluate the extent of prostate enlargement and its impact on the urethra and bladder
Detailed images aid in planning surgical procedures, such as prostatectomy or transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).
TRUS can be used for ongoing monitoring of prostate conditions, assessing the effectiveness of treatments, and detecting any recurrence of disease.
