| Primary study design | Interventional |
|---|---|
| Study design | Randomised controlled trial |
| Secondary study design | Randomised controlled trial |
| Scientific title | Comparison of contrast enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) to conventional sonography for transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsies |
| Study objectives | To determine whether contrast enhanced ultrasound is more accurate in diagnosing prostate cancer than the traditionally used black and white ultrasound. |
| Ethics approval(s) | Not provided at time of registration |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Cancer: Prostate |
| Intervention | Randomised controlled trial |
| Intervention type | Other |
| Primary outcome measure(s) |
The clinician performing the prostate biopsies will define the 10 biopsied areas as normal or abnormal. This classification will then be compared to the final pathological examination of the biopsy and the sensitivity and specificity of each move of sonography will be calculated. |
| Key secondary outcome measure(s) |
