Transrectal Elastosonography

Transrectal Elastosonography (TRES) is an emerging technique that could map out the relative tissue stiffness of prostate gland. This can differentiate cancer foci from the benign tissues within prostate gland. A recent study reports that TRES can detect up to 90% of PCa with a specificity of 80%. While, using histopathology of the radical prostatectomy specimens as reference standard, the sensitivity of TRES ranged between 0.71-0.82 and the specificity ranged between 0.60-0.95. With grey scale TRUS, localization of the cancer foci in prostate gland is a challenge. However, TRES seems to be better in localization of the tumour foci. Journal of Medical Diagnostic Methods is one of the top online publishing journals for research from the field of Transrectal Elastosonography. The open access articles published in this scholarly journal are reviewed by at least two reviewers of the associated fields. The journal publishes original research articles, reviews, case reports, short communications, etc and emphasizes theoretical and experimental work. To ensure high quality articles, both editors and reviewers actively participate in the peer review process and help in completing the review process within 21 days. As an important educational platform the journal provides scientists and researchers access to the newest trends and research outlooks. Please browse through the list of peer-reviewed journals to find the scientific publication of your interest.
