The Gold Standard in Veterinary Imaging Diagnostic Evaluation
Prostate cancer can cause prostatic enlargement, irregularity, mineralization, local invasion, and metastasis to regional lymph nodes, lungs, and bones. CT provides excellent evaluation of local invasion and metastatic disease. Ultrasound allows assessment of prostatic architecture and facilitates sampling. Radiographs may identify pulmonary or osseous metastases but are less sensitive. MRI provides detailed soft-tissue evaluation.
