This case report describes the unanticipated results of a transrectal ultrasound performed to stage a cancer of the rectum. During sonography, the normally dense prostate peripheral zone produced weak echoes indicating the existence of an unexpected carcinoma of the prostate. The presence of extensi
Transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) has become the most frequently used imaging modality for the prostate. The internal architecture of the prostate is readily detailed by TRUS, and the procedure allows an accurate measurement of prostate size. Carcinoma of the prostate has a characteristic hypoechoi
## BACKGROUND. Interactive, transrectal, ultrasound-guided transperineal implantation is a new technique for performing permanent brachytherapy implants of the prostate. Prostate specific antigen (PSA) findings, biopsy results, and morbidity are examined to demonstrate its efficacy and safety in t
