Study design	Randomised controlled trial
Primary study design	Interventional
Secondary study design	Randomised controlled trial
Study setting(s)	Not specified
Study type	Diagnostic
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	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.
Secondary outcome measures	Not provided at time of registration
Overall study start date	01/08/2005
Completion date	01/08/2006
