Capability of doppler ultrasonography in prevention of hemorrhagic complications of prostate biopsy

Abstract

The article presents the results of a comparative study of the frequency and severity of bleeding after prostate biopsy performed under the control of Doppler mode of vascular scanning and without its use. Compared with the usual mode of ultrasound scanning of the prostate, the use of Doppler imaging mode of intraprostatic vessels reduces the number of hemorrhagic complications of prostate biopsy, which confirms the feasibility of using the Doppler mode when taking biopsy material.
