Summary: As longevity increases, prostatic diseases and cancer present a growing health problem in western societies. Strategies for disease prevention and early detection need to be developed and rigorously tested. Transrectal ultrasonography with or without biopsy has added considerably to our understanding of the anatomy of the prostate and to the etiology of prostatic diseases. The highly illustrated Handbook of Transrectal Ultrasound and Biopsy of the Prostate presents in a simple and logical manner the underpinning fundamentals of transrectal sonography, such as the physics of ultrasound and equipment details, and focuses on the practical aspects of prostate scanning and biopsy, thus equipping the practitioner, whether an ultrasonographer or uroradiologist, with the skills to set up and run a safe and accurate prostate assessment clinic.
