Abstract

Gray-scale ultrasound is widely used for assessing BPH and for obtaining prostate biopsies. However, it has limited value for evaluating cancer in the prostate. To improve ultrasound as an imaging modality of the prostate, many new technologies, such as color and power Doppler, 3-dimensional ultrasound of the prostate, and contrast-enhanced ultrasound have been developed. In addition, treatment modalities using ultrasound for the treatment of BPH have been developed. This review presents the recent developments in ultrasound of the prostate.
