Title: A modified test of abdominal pressure method in transrectal ultrasound elastography of prostate nodule
Abstract: Objective To assess the clinical application value of abdominal pressure method on transrectal ultrasound elastography examination of prostate nodule. Methods SR and SR1 were produced after examined prostate nodules using transrectal ultrasound elastography technique with conventional method and abdominal pressure method,and the sensitivity,specificity,accuracy,positive predictive value and negative predictive value were calculated according to the examination results. Results The specificity and accuracy with abdominal pressure method were 92. 4% and 87. 4%,which were significantly higher than 88. 5%and 84. 4% of the conventional groups( P 0. 05). Whilst,the differences between the sensitivities of the two groups were not significant( P 0. 05). Conclusion Abdominal pressure method have high stability and reliability when conducting transrectal ultrasound elastography examination of prostate nodules.
