Prostate Color Doppler Ultrasound

PCD (Power Color Doppler)Ultrasound utilizes a screening method to produce sonographic images of the prostate. It is essentially a "high-tech" version of traditional ultrasound, which uses high-frequency sound waves to produce a detailed image of the body's internal structures.

One primary advantage of Power Color Doppler Ultrasound in the detection of Prostate Cancer is that it has a much higher resolution and the ability to highlight (hence the term "color" in the name) areas of blood flow in dense or soft tissue. This allows specific problems such as tumors or inflammation to be viewed and measured clearly.

Prostate sonograms are safe, painless and inexpensive. Unlike other screening methods, they can be repeated as often as necessary to closely monitor areas of concern and assess treatment efficacy. Power Color Doppler Ultrasound can also be used to monitor inflammation and tumors in the human body.
