Cancers of the prostate have traditionally been detected by digital palpation which identifies increased stiffness (modulus of elasticity, hardness) of the abnormal tissue. Gray-scale ultrasound is insensitive to stiffness as an imaging parameter and often fails to reveal the extent or existence of a prostate cancer. Recent developments in technology and understanding have improved the diagnostic efficacy of transrectal ultrasound for detection of early prostate cancer, but even when coupled… Expand
