“…Indeed, a number of studies have suggested that elastography-guided biopsies yielded good results for PC detection [37,38]. In addition, MRI has shown good sensitivity for the detection of PC [39,40].…”

Objective: To assess if a less extended biopsy in the transperineal approach is sufficient for detection of prostate cancer (PC) in patients with hypoechoic lesions. Methods: This was a prospective study of 167 consecutive patients with prostate hypoechoic lesion and who underwent transperineal ultrasound (TPUS)-guided 12-core and hypoechoic lesion core biopsy between January 2012 and February 2013. Results: PC was detected in 64.1% (107/167) of patients. The PC detection rate of the 12-core prostate biopsy scheme was the highest, but when including the hypoechoic lesion core, there was no difference between the 6- and 12-core schemes (all p > 0.05), irrespective of prostate volume or prostate-specific antigen levels (all p > 0.05). Conclusions: A more limited biopsy scheme could be sufficient for the detection of PC if the hypoechoic lesion is sampled.

“…A skilled technician is needed to obtain adequately uniform compression, which can be challenging. Some recent studies have used inflatable balloons that surround the endorectal transducer and can be filled or emptied by the operator, thereby generating a more uniform stress on the prostate [27,31,32].…”

“…It requires no extra hardware and is based on a fast-processing software algorithm. US elastography has been used in other areas, including oncology and hepatology, helping in the detection and differentiation of malignant lesions and fibrosis (26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32).…”

Fibrotic involvement of the skin is a cardinal feature of systemic sclerosis (SSc). The extent of skin involvement is associated with internal organ involvement, coinciding with more severe disease course and poor prognosis. A palpation-based semi-quantitative score, the modified Rodnan skin score, is widely used for the assessment of skin involvement, but it is entailed by significant limitations. More objective approaches to measure skin involvement employing imaging have been explored continuously in the past decades and are currently advancing. Here, we review the use of different imaging techniques for the assessment of skin involvement in patients with SSc, focusing mainly on ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and optical coherence tomography.
