Overview
On ultrasound, prostate cancer is characterized by hypoechoic areas.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of prostate cancer include:[1][2]
- Hypoechoic lesion in the peripheral zone of the gland (60%-70%)
- Hyperechoic or isoechoic (30%-40%)
- Directing brachytherapy seeds into the prostate gland
