Influence of Serum Prostate‐Specific Antigen (PSA) Level, Prostate Volume, and PSA Density on Prostate Cancer Detection With Contrast‐Enhanced Sonography Using Contrast‐Tuned Imaging Technology

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of the serum prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) level, prostate volume, and PSA density on prostate cancer detection with contrast‐enhanced sonography using contrast‐tuned imaging technology compared with baseline imaging (combination of grayscale and power Doppler imaging).
