title: [The transrectal sonography of the carcinoma of the prostate gland (author's transl)].
abstract: 320 transrectal sonograms of the prostate gland were performed. 59 of these showed a carcinoma of the prostate. This corresponds in 86% of the cases with the usual criteria (form, intraprostatic structure, capsule homogeneity). In most cases an increase in density of the intraprostatic structure was the most obvious feature. The differentiation between carcinoma and chronic. prostatitis is in some cases not possible. Besides establishing the structure, the exact size of the organ can be determined. In this way, by routine checks on patients undergoing radiation therapy statements can be made about the changes in size.
