Journal ArticleDOI
Prostate cancer: local staging with endorectal surface coil MR imaging.
Mitchell D. Schnall,Yutaka Imai,John E. Tomaszewski,Howard M. Pollack,Robert E. Lenkinski,Herbert Y. Kressel +5 more
TL;DR: Endorectal surface coil magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was used to stage the local extent of prostate cancer in 22 patients and there was an average improvement in accuracy of 16% in staging prostate cancer with endorctal coil images.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prostate: MR imaging with an endorectal surface coil.
TL;DR: An endorectal surface coil has been developed to obtain high-resolution magnetic resonance images of the prostate that better demonstrate prostatic anatomy and pathologic conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current role of MR imaging in the staging of adenocarcinoma of the prostate.
Mark L. Schiebler,Mitchell D. Schnall,Howard M. Pollack,Robert E. Lenkinski,John E. Tomaszewski,Alan J. Wein,Richard Whittington,Wolfgang Rauschning,Herbert Y. Kressel +8 more
TL;DR: The endorectal probe for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has increased resolution of the prostate gland and capsule, which has improved the sensitivity and specificity for staging ACP, which makes MR imaging the premier imaging modality for the preoperative staging of ACP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kidney changes after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy: CT evaluation.
J.I. Rubin,Peter H. Arger,Howard M. Pollack,Marc P. Banner,B.G. Coleman,Marshall C. Mintz,K N VanArsdalen +6 more
TL;DR: The authors conclude that while most patients undergoing ESWL will show some posttreatment abnormality on CT scans, the procedure appears to be associated with a low frequency of serious renal trauma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prostatic carcinoma and benign prostatic hyperplasia: correlation of high-resolution MR and histopathologic findings.
Mark L. Schiebler,John E. Tomaszewski,M Bezzi,Howard M. Pollack,Herbert Y. Kressel,E K Cohen,Howard G. Altman,Warren B. Gefter,A Wein,Leon Axel +9 more
TL;DR: High-resolution magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of 24 fresh radical prostatectomy specimens was performed and nodules of mixed glandular BPH and fibromuscular BPH were found to have signal intensities similar to those of well-differentiated nodules of prostatic adenocarcinoma.
