What is micro-ultrasound?
Prostate micro-ultrasound is the latest technology used to detect prostate cancer. It uses high-frequency sound 
waves to create highly detailed images of the prostate gland and provides an image that is 300% clearer compared to traditional ultrasound. Micro-ultrasound offers an almost 100% guarantee of detecting prostate cancer. It can even identify tumors as small as a single hair’s width.
Thanks to its high-resolution imaging, micro-ultrasound enables doctors to perform so-called targeted biopsy. Targeted biopsy means that tissue samples are taken only from the suspicious, potentially cancerous areas. In contrast, with systematic biopsy, samples are usually taken from 12 different areas of the prostate, which means puncturing the prostate in 12 places.
Today, micro-ultrasound is the best method for diagnosing and screening prostate cancer. Karazanashvili’s Robotic Center is the only clinic in Georgia and the region equipped with the latest Canadian-made ExactVu micro-ultrasound device.
Ultrasound is a versatile and valuable medical imaging technology with a wide range of applications. From examining abdominal organs to detecting prostate cancer, ultrasound can provide essential diagnostic information without the use of ionizing radiation.
