Earlier this week, researchers presented data from the OPTIMUM (Optimization of Prostate Biopsy – Micro-Ultrasound Versus MRI) trial at the European Association of Urology Congress in Madrid, Spain.

A new ultrasound method that can measure the level of tension in human tissue for the first time—a key indicator of disease—has been developed by researchers from the University of Sheffield. The ...

One in eight men will develop prostate cancer in their lifetime. Surgery to treat the disease can lead to unwelcome side effects. A minimally invasive alternative that avoids surgery is now available ...

In a retrospective cohort study, a combination of four abnormal ultrasound features —gestational sac mean diameter (GSMD) < fifth centile, yolk sac mean diameter (YSMD) ≥ 95th centile, crown-rump ...

Biopsies guided by high resolution ultrasound are as effective as those using MRI in diagnosing prostate cancer, an international clinical trial has shown. The technology, called micro-ultrasound, is ...

A new ultrasound method that can measure the level of tension in human tissue for the first time - a key indicator of disease - has been developed by researchers from the University of Sheffield. The ...

High pre-treatment PSA levels correlate with increased recurrence and treatment failure in intermediate-risk prostate cancer patients treated with HIFU. Gleason grade 3 or higher is associated with ...

University of Sheffield researchers have developed a new ultrasound method that could help to more easily diagnose abnormal tissue, scarring and cancer Technique uses sound waves to measure the level ...
