DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION OF TRANSRECTAL ULTRASONOTOMOGRAPHY

Abstract

The process of development of transrectal ultrasonotomography is described. This is an entirely new diagnostic technique to visualize various intrapelvic organs as a cross-section picture. A special “chairtype” equipment for the procedure has been successfully developed. The diagnotic application of this method to the prostate, the urinary bladder, the seminal vesicles etc. is discussed. The detailed reports in English have been or will be published elsewhere.
