Prospective study of 3D sonography validity in the differenciation of prostatic cancer stage

The authors compared the effectiveness of standard diagnostic procedure and 3D reconstruction of ultrasonography in a group of 22 patients. The ultrasonography was independently evaluated from the record by two physicians - an expert and a sonographist in training. The aim was the differentiation between localized and locally advanced carcinoma of the prostate. The criterion was the histological examination of the prostate after radical prostatectomy. The 3D analysis was more successful in both sonographists (88% resp. 66%) than standard procedure (59%). The sensitivity of 3D sonography was 82 (resp. 66%), the specificity was 100% (resp. 57%). 3D transrectal sonography thus enables shortening of unpleasant investigation for the patient with higher diagnostic value of sonography, although the specificity and sensitivity is still not optimal.
