TRUS

Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) is a medical imaging technique used primarily in urology to visualize the prostate gland and surrounding structures. It involves the insertion of a small ultrasound probe into the rectum to obtain detailed images of the prostate. TRUS is commonly used for diagnosing conditions such as prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis, and other prostate abnormalities. This procedure provides high-resolution images and allows for precise guidance during prostate biopsy procedures. TRUS is minimally invasive, generally well-tolerated, and does not usually require any special preparation. It plays a crucial role in prostate cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment planning.
