2034 QUANTATIVE SHEAR WAVE ELASTOSONOGRPAHY IN THE DETECTION OF PROSTATE CANCERS

Abstract

Shear wave elastosonography is a new method of obtaining quantitative tissue elasticity data during transrectal ultrasound biopsies procedure. The aims of this study were (1) to determine the whether shear wave elastsonography can help in picking up extra cancer foci to the currect12 core biopsies technique (2) to compare quantitative shear wave elastosonography for benign/malignant classification.
