A man who was diagnosed with cancer twice in just over a year has praised a new non-invasive ultrasound treatment which saved his life after enduring the "hell" of chemotherapy. Stuart Emerson, 60, ...

This gel helps the sound waves go through the body. A hand-held probe ("transducer") is then moved over that part. For prostate ultrasound exams, a specially designed probe is inserted into the rectum ...

Q: Is it possible to treat prostate cancer with sound waves? A: High-intensity focused ultrasound is an innovative treatment option for men with localized, low to intermediate-risk prostate cancer.

High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a novel prostate cancer treatment that minimizes side effect while destroying ...

Researchers say they have been encouraged by trials of a new process to detect prostate cancer in men. It is hoped that the approach, developed at Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh, could lead ...

Before the procedure, physicians use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to locate the tumor cells in the patient's prostate. During the procedure, doctors use an ultrasound and prostate mapping to ...

Scientists at Heriot Watt University developed a cost-effective technique for faster, more accurate prostate cancer detection using ultrasound equipment, with a 94% success rate in early trials.

Every two minutes, a man is diagnosed with prostate cancer in our country. This disease is currently the second-leading cancer-related killer of men in the United States.

The team uses a technique known as super resolution ultrasound imaging (SRUI) to track these microbubbles as they flow inside the prostate. Due to the altered blood flow in cancerous tissue, the image ...

Science Progress (1933-), Vol. 103, No. 4 (2020), pp. 1-24 (24 pages) Traditional hand-held ultrasound probe has some limitations in prostate biopsy. Improving the localization and accuracy of ...

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer for men in the UK, with one in eight diagnosed with the disease in their lifetime. The process uses existing ultrasound equipment which is widely ...
