“…It is hard to foresee future applications for these procedures because of ever‐growing and constantly improved technology 10. Three‐dimensional presentation is an established procedure in diagnosing organs such as the urinary bladder, gallbladder, blood vessels, fetus, and interstitial organs 11. The usefulness of 3D images in measuring the volume of normal and pathologically changed organs is well known.…”

3D presentation can better visualize irregular shapes, local thickenings, and calcification of pseudocyst walls than classical 2D ultrasound scans. The use of subtraction in 3D scans of blood vessels increases the safety in performing biopsies. We have shown that 3D sonography collects extremely useful information about the status of the pseudocyst structure, and it should become a complementary method to classical ultrasonography. This technique when used on a routine basis should help us change the inclusion criteria for guided biopsies.

“…The vessels routinely examined are the uterine, umbilical, and fetal middle cerebral arteries (Blanco et al 2008). Doppler imaging for increased sensitivity of tissue vascularity, the injection of ultrasonographic contrast agents that enhance both vessel and tissue echogenicity, tissue harmonic imaging in which multiples of the usually imaged frequencies are used to increase image clarity, and three-dimensional ultrasonographic imaging for enhanced spatial understanding of the imaged pathology (Campani et al 1998).…”

Ultrasound waves represent sound waves that exceed normal human audible frequency range of 20 to 20,000 Hertz. Diagnostic ultrasound imaging depends on the computerized analysis of reflected ultrasound waves (echoes), which non-invasively build up fine images of internal body structures. This paper conducted to review the use and principle of ultrasound in veterinary medicine. The transducer of ultrasound produces sound waves (pulse) and receives the sound beam (echo) after the sound got reflected by a reflecting surface. Transducers contain multiple piezoelectric crystals or materials that are able to convert electrical energy in to mechanical energy and vice versa when stimulated electrically. .It is unique in its ability to image patient anatomy and physiology in real time, providing an important, rapid and noninvasive means of evaluation. Ultrasonography provides information about size, shape, and location of structures; moreover. It also provides information about the soft-tissue architecture of the structure or organ being examined though it is not suitable to diagnose air containing structures and bone due to their strong reflecting property. The wavelength of ultrasound influences the resolution of the images that can be obtained; the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength and the better the resolution.

“…Although long considered a work in progress because of the extended investigation time, the ever-increasing computer power has made the techniques available for interactive application. 30 Indeed, all major ultrasound companies have some kind of research project allowing users to actually construct a 3D representation of the interrogated organ on the machine or on a dedicated computer attached to the machine. With these techniques now available for interactive clinical application, the exact value of such modalities is currently being explored.…”

The introduction of contrast agents has changed the diagnostic role of ultrasonography dramatically. Advanced ultrasound techniques, although currently largely unexplored, especially for prostate applications, were introduced to improve, for example, differential diagnosis. Also, new technologies became available using the interaction of the angioemboli with the transmitted ultrasound waves, and sensitive methods to detect microbubbles were developed. As the traveling of microbubbles through the vascular system is a dynamic process, new information becomes available: when the concentration of the contrast agent can be determined as a function of time, a measure for the actual blood flow can be obtained that provides quantitative information. Initially developed to enhance the ultrasound examinations in cardiac applications, contrast agents can currently be found in radiologic applications as well. The first reports of enhanced Doppler examinations of prostatic blood flow have been published, and the results indicate that contrast agents are a promising addition to the conventional ultrasound examination. In this paper, we present a short overview of the status of transrectal ultrasound imaging in prostate cancer, background information on contrast agents and imaging modalities, and early results of enhanced Doppler studies of the prostate to identify cancer. The early results suggest the feasibility of using angioemboli to enhance ultrasound imaging of prostate diseases, and although many issues remain to be solved, angioemboli in combination with a dedicated imaging modality have the potential to improve the diagnostic application of ultrasound in evaluating the prostate for disease.
