Liver Total Approach

Liver Total Approach

Initial screening for a liver condition usually starts with an ultrasound scan and blood tests, and may be followed by other imaging tests, such as CT or MRI to obtain further information. Ultrasound is particularly excellent for differentiating solid masses from liquid ones. Ultrasound examination can also evaluate diffuse liver diseases, like fatty liver or hepatitis.

ULTRA Virtual Navigator - Transperineal Urology

Prostate cancer is the most common tumor in male patients and the second/third cause of death by cancer in the United States and Europe. The early and accurate diagnosis and localization of suspect cancer areas is of fundamental importance to providing more appropriate therapy management. The current diagnostic algorithm, based on rectal examinations, PSA testing, and ultrasound-guided prostate biopsies, provides limited information in this regard.
