TRANSRECTAL ULTRASONOGRAPHY AND MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (MRI) CORRELATION IN PATIENTS HAVING PROSTATIC PATHOLOGY.

Aims & Objectives : To analyse the role of TransRectal Ultrasound and its correlation with Magnetic Resonance Imaging ndings in patients having prostatic pathology. Material & Method: a total one hundred patients with suspected prostatic pathology were evaluated from Jan.2020 to Dec.2020 in a tertiary care providing hospital in Ahmedabad,Gujarat part of western india.Patients were evaluated for prostatic disease on both ultrasound(Usg) & magnetic resonance imaging(MRI). Result: With increased life expectancy the cases of prostatic pathologies are in increasing trend,therefore it is very much necessary to have a precise diagnosis of prostatic pathology. Various prostatic diseases were evaluated on ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging in the present study. The ndings were analysed and a conrmatory diagnosis was made. Discussion: Both ultrasound & magnetic resonance imaging of the prostate are complementary to each other in arriving at a diagnosis. Conclusion: Transrectal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging of the prostate is crucial in the evaluation of prostatic pathology.It also helps in the follow-up of cases
