Transrectal Prostate Ultrasound (TRUS)

Transrectal Prostate Ultrasound (TRUS) is most useful when your doctor or other qualified clinician needs imaging of Prostate for real-time sonographic assessment. Please bring the referral or clinical question if one has been issued, because the exact protocol may depend on why this specific scan is being requested.

Please tell the imaging centre before your appointment if you have had a previous reaction to contrast material, have kidney disease, are on dialysis, or may be pregnant. Recent kidney-function results may be requested before contrast is given. Most ultrasound examinations need little preparation, but follow any body-area-specific instructions sent by the imaging centre. For Transrectal Prostate Ultrasound (TRUS) specifically, follow any appointment message from the imaging centre because the final protocol can change with your clinical history and the exact question being investigated.

Please provide the clinical indication or referral question for Transrectal Prostate Ultrasound (TRUS), relevant symptoms and duration, previous surgery or treatment involving Prostate, current medicines, allergies where relevant, and any previous imaging or reports that could help comparison.

At the appointment, staff will confirm your identity and the reason for Transrectal Prostate Ultrasound (TRUS), position you appropriately and acquire images of Prostate. A sonographer applies gel and moves a probe over the area; mild pressure may be needed to obtain diagnostic views.

Contrast use may require additional screening for allergy and kidney function. Any previous severe contrast reaction should be discussed before the day of the scan. The supervising team should complete the safety screen specifically for Transrectal Prostate Ultrasound (TRUS) before proceeding.

The images from Transrectal Prostate Ultrasound (TRUS) are reviewed by an appropriately qualified imaging specialist or clinician. The report should be interpreted together with your history, examination findings and other tests; an imaging result alone may not establish the final diagnosis. Urgent or unexpected findings may require faster clinical follow-up than the routine delivery time shown in this listing.

Please arrive early enough for registration and safety screening. The listed price for Transrectal Prostate Ultrasound (TRUS) is a starting market price and can change with contrast, sedation, additional sequences/views, radiologist subspecialty reporting, consumables or facility location. If your symptoms are severe or rapidly worsening, seek urgent clinical care rather than waiting for a routine imaging booking.
