tailieunhanh - 12 CHAPTERS ON NUCLEAR MEDICINE

Although transperineal prostate biopsy with TRUS guidance was described in 1981 (Holm and Gammelgaard, 1981), more recent research has been undertaken on this previously used transperineal approach with the additional use of templates. This has facilitated control of the biopsy gun and allowed uniform sampling of the whole prostate. Furthermore there has been growing interest in the use of brachytherapy grid to take transperineal biopsies and therefore saturate the entire gland. Fewer complications have been reported with this technique and yet a greater detection rate of prostate cancer | 12 CHAPTERS ON NUCLEAR MEDICINE Edited by Ali Gholamrezanezhad 12 Chapters on Nuclear Medicine Edited by Ali Gholamrezanezhad Published by InTech Janeza Trdine 9 51000 Rijeka Croatia Copyright 2011 InTech All chapters are Open Access distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution license which allows users to download copy and build upon published articles even for commercial purposes as long as the author and publisher are properly credited which ensures maximum dissemination and a wider impact of our publications.
