Title: Diagnostic value on prostatic carcinoma by transrectal color Doppler flow imaging
Abstract: Objective:To evaluate the clinical value of transrectal color Doppler ultrasound in diagnosing prostatic carcinoma(PCA).Methods:Thirty PCA patients were detected to observe the prostatic volume,echo of nodules and the resistance index(RI)by transrectal color Doppler ultrasound.Results:The ultrasonic signs of prostatic carcinoma could be classified as focal nodular type,nodule-infiltrative type and diffuse infiltrative type.The average volume of PCA was enlarged and nodules which were mostly distributed in outer gland were hypoechoic and the prostate gland was asymmetric bilateral sides.PCA had rich arterial blood supply and the resistance indexs(RI)were higher than 0.75.Conclusion:Transrectal ultrasound color Doppler image is an effective method to increase the predictive rate of the prostatic carcinoma.Transrectal ultrasound can be served as a survey and routine method for diagrosis of the prostatic carcinoma.
