In ABUS you will develop practice examination questions to support your preparation for the final ABUS Examination.

Students often request samples from previous examinations. However, due to the limited number of questions, we are not able to provide sample.

Each of you will contribute to this Wiki by developing practice exam questions. The questions may be
  • diagrams,
  • matching questions,
  • multiple choice questions,
  • true/false questions or
  • short answer questions.
Please visit the Criteria for Assessment of Wiki page for criteria and instructions for posting.

Each of your questions must to referenced using APA style. For more information on referencing, please see our Referencing Guidelines section.

This wiki is intended as a tool to help you develop your Study Guide ABUS. The wiki will allow you to work as a group on common pages so that you can edit and build your guide in one location. Better yet, it will allow you to add links to other websites, photos, video, RSS and other fabulous forms of information.

Don't worry if this is your first time using a wiki. You will be introduced to the wonderful world of wikis, and before you know it, you will be wiki-savvy! You can't make a mistake, and there's nothing to break. Each time a wiki page is edited, the prior version is saved. Just click on the complete history link at the bottom of the page to see all the revisions. From there you can decide whether you want to revert to older versions of the wiki, or keep the changes you've made.

6. The image shows that of a prostate gland, explain ultrasound imaging of the prostate gland to a patient who is over 40 years old.
(See attachment)

Answer
Ultrasound imaging, also called ultrasound scanning or sonography is the first line means of imaging the prostate gland. It is a minimally invasive procedure in that there is no major surgical intervention; a prostate ultrasound is done by use of a transrectal ultrasound which provides images of a man’s prostate gland and surrounding tissue. An ultrasound probe is inserted into the rectum and sound waves are sent into the prostate gland and reflections are processed to image the gland. There is no ionizing radiation.
The prostate ultrasound is done to:
1. Detect disorders within the prostate.
2. Determine whether the prostate is enlarged with measurements acquired for treatment planning.
3. Detect an abnormal growth within the gland.
4. Help diagnose the cause of a man’s infertility.

A transrectal ultrasound of the prostate is used to help diagnose symptoms such as:
1. A nodule felt by a physician on digital rectal examination (DRE) of a man’s prostate on routine physical examination for cancer screening.
2. An elevated prostate specific antigen (PSA) on blood test.
3. Difficulty urinating
Ultrasound guided biopsy of the prostate gland is sometimes required in order to make a diagnosis of prostate pathology. It is a real time imaging which makes it useful for guiding these minimally invasive procedures such as needle biopsies and needle aspirations.
