It is increasingly used to guide targeted sampling.</p><h2>Transrectal Ultrasound</h2><p>Ultrasound uses sound waves to create an image of the prostate. It is commonly used to measure size and guide biopsy needles.</p><h2>PSMA PET Scans</h2><p>For men with advanced or recurrent prostate cancer, PSMA PET imaging can detect spread with remarkable precision, helping guide treatment decisions.</p>
