Prostate Volume and PSA‐Density Estimation by Transabdominal Ultrasound: Prospective Evidence of Comparative Accuracy to MRI and Transrectal Ultrasound in Prostate Cancer Early Diagnostics
PVs obtained with TAUS are equivalent to MRI. Still, image quality varies with experience and interobserver variability needs further exploration, ensuring generalizable outcomes. Nevertheless, TAUS represents a valid alternative for PV and PSAD estimation, enabling a patient-friendly alternative for PCa risk assessment.
