Uniquely 3-D Power Doppler Formats
ОглавлениеFortunately, the Doppler technology has other formats that correctly identify artifactual or spurious colors, distinguishing it from a true cancer. In Dr. Bard’s practice combining 3-D PDS with focused computer-aided vascular MRI exams, we have achieved a 97% overall accuracy in diagnosing and staging PCa's. An important exception occurs in the seminal vesicles, which sit on top of the prostate gland generating the fluid that produces the ejaculation. Early cancer spread to these paired vesicles may be missed by the 3-D PDS. When a tumor is found near or adjacent to the seminal vesicles at the base of the prostate, MRI scans are mandatory. Another important advantage of 3-D PDS is the ability to accurately measure tumor volume and density.
