Preface
The first edition of Practical Urological Ultrasound was an outgrowth of a campaign to teach practicing urologists the basic techniques for performing and documenting ultrasound examinations on urologic patients. An emphasis on an organ-based approach was intended to mimic what was encountered in daily practice and to extend the principles learned to intraoperative applications. The more pervasive use of MRI in conjunction with radionuclide studies and, more recently, for MRI-guided prostate biopsy would seem to render a fundamental understanding of ultrasound less vital. To the contrary, the skillful use of ultrasound is critical to the co-registration of images for MRI-TRUS
