Title: An evaluation of the function of new special equipment for transrectal ultrasonotomography. Author: Watanabe H, Igari D, Tanahashi Y, Harada K, Saitoh M. Journal: Tohoku J Exp Med; 1976 Apr; 118(4):387-92. PubMed ID: 936211. Abstract: A new type of equipment for transrectal ultrasonotomography was described in a previous paper. This equipment was evaluated from the data obtained from 205 cases in which examinations were performed. Tomograms were successfully recorded in 94% of cases. Tomograms sufficiently useful for diagnosis and the measurement of organs were obtained in 89% of cases for the prostate, 78% for the urinary bladder, and 80% for the seminal vesicles. No basic problems in the procedure were found, although hypotension of unknown origin was observed during the examination in a few cases.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
