Abstract

Conventional B-mode transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) is used extensively to aid in visualizing the prostate gland and needle during biopsy. However, TRUS has limited sensitivity and specificity for prostate cancer detection (Nelson et al. 2007; Correas et al. 2013), and therefore advanced ultrasonic methods are currently being investigated to improve prostate cancer detection.
