Last December 2017 we tried for the first time the ExactVu system of high resolution microultrasound of the prostate for the diagnosis of prostate cancer.
It is a sophisticated high resolution ultrasound (conventional transducers for transrectal ultrasound imaging have 7 MHz, but this has a 29 MHz probe), that improves radically our ability to detect subtle anatomical details in the prostate.
After studying carefully what this technology can add to the diagnosis of prostate cancer, we have decided to adopt it at ICUA-Clinica CEMTRO, to make it available for our patients.
We believe it can be a very nice companion to 3 Tesla Multiparametric MRI and that it can be of great help in paitents who do not tolerate MRI or in which MRI is non conclusive. In some of the cases we performed we could see lesions that the MRI had not even seen and on biopsy there was a tumor lesion.
It is a costly technology, but we believe it will help us detect prostate cancer even earlier in men and thanks to that, improve the chances of cure in our patients.
Many other high level centers are also adopting this technology, and the data published to date is extremely positive.
A very interesting tech that can be better known at the website of exact imaging.
