Researchers have developed a micro-ultrasound capable of performing prostate biopsies with greater precision and less discomfort for patients. This innovative technology aims to detect prostate cancer in its early stages, allowing for more effective treatment and better outcomes for patients.
The micro-ultrasound uses high-frequency waves to generate detailed images of the prostate, facilitating the identification of potential cancerous tumors. Being a less invasive procedure than traditional biopsies, patients experience less pain and discomfort, as well as a reduced risk of complications.
According to Dr. Rodríguez, a urologist at the hospital where this new technology has been implemented, "micro-ultrasound provides us with a much clearer view of the prostate, allowing us to detect suspicious lesions more accurately and perform targeted biopsies with greater precision." This tool has become a fundamental ally in the fight against prostate cancer, significantly improving the diagnostic capability of specialists.
