Abstract

Prostate diseases, including prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia, have become significant threats to men's health. Accurate and reliable diagnostic methods are critical for early detection and timely intervention. Although current imaging modalities such as conventional transrectal ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging play a crucial role in the diagnosis and treatment monitoring of prostate diseases, they remain hampered by certain limitations that prevent them from comprehensively and precisely addressing clinical demands. Ultrasound elastography (UE), as a rapidly emerging medical imaging technology, is gradually demonstrating broad application prospects in the diagnosis and treatment monitoring of prostate diseases. Numerous studies have validated the efficacy of UE in the diagnosis of prostate diseases, demonstrating its significant advantages in diagnostic accuracy and reduced invasiveness compared with conventional methods. Nevertheless, challenges persist in translating UE into routine clinical practice, such as the lack of standardized protocols, variability in result interpretation, and limited equipment availability. This article reviews the role of UE in the diagnosis and treatment monitoring of prostate diseases, critically evaluates its clinical potential and challenges, and serves as a reference for future in-depth research and clinical applications.

超声弹性成像在前列腺疾病中的研究现状及未来发展方向
前列腺疾病,包括前列腺癌和良性前列腺增生,已经成为男性健康的重大威胁。准确可靠的诊断方法对于早期发现和及时干预至关重要。虽然目前的成像方式,如传统的经直肠超声、计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像在前列腺疾病的诊断和治疗监测中发挥了至关重要的作用,但它们仍然受到某些限制的阻碍,使它们无法全面准确地满足临床需求。超声弹性成像(UE)作为一项新兴的医学成像技术,在前列腺疾病的诊断和治疗监测中逐渐显示出广阔的应用前景。大量研究证实了UE在前列腺疾病诊断中的有效性,与常规方法相比,在诊断准确性和减少侵入性方面具有显著优势。然而,将UE转化为常规临床实践的挑战仍然存在,例如缺乏标准化的协议,结果解释的可变性以及设备可用性有限。本文综述了UE在前列腺疾病诊断和治疗监测中的作用,批判性地评价其临床潜力和挑战,为今后深入研究和临床应用提供参考。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Clinical Ultrasound (JCU) is an international journal dedicated to the worldwide dissemination of scientific information on diagnostic and therapeutic applications of medical sonography. The scope of the journal includes--but is not limited to--the following areas: sonography of the gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary tract, vascular system, nervous system, head and neck, chest, breast, musculoskeletal system, and other superficial structures; Doppler applications; obstetric and pediatric applications; and interventional sonography. Studies comparing sonography with other imaging modalities are encouraged, as are studies evaluating the economic impact of sonography. Also within the journal''s scope are innovations and improvements in instrumentation and examination techniques and the use of contrast agents. JCU publishes original research articles, case reports, pictorial essays, technical notes, and letters to the editor. The journal is also dedicated to being an educational resource for its readers, through the publication of review articles and various scientific contributions from members of the editorial board and other world-renowned experts in sonography.
