Abstract
The development of an effective method for imaging the prostate has been a long-sought goal. Clinical assessment of the gland has relied historically upon digital rectal examination and cystoscopy. With the advent of transrectal endosonography, areas of the prostate and associated structures which previously were inaccessible to examination are now seen with unprecedented clarity.
