Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Ethan J. Halpern, MD, is Professor and Vice-Chair for Research in the Department of Radiology at Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia. He also serves as Co-Director of Jefferson University Hospital’s Prostate Diagnostic Center—a collaboration among the departments of urology, radiology and pathology. In this role, Dr. Halpern actively explores the application of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) to the diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa). Several clinical trials at Jefferson have demonstrated improved detection of PCa based upon CEUS targeted biopsy. Recent studies have employed newer ultrasound techniques, including flash replenishment and subharmonic imaging, to improve the detection of neovascularity associated with PCa. A recent study has demonstrated the utility of CEUS to detect significant PCa that was missed by multi-parametric MRI.

Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound of the Prostate

Posted by Ethan J. Halpern, MD | Feb 2020

Ethan J. Halpern, MD, Professor and Vice-Chair for Research in the Department of Radiology at Jefferson University Hospital, reviews the history and limitations of using standard grayscale and doppler TRUS imaging to identify cancers within the prostate. He further discusses contrast-enhanced ultrasound of the prostate, and how, when combined with subharmonic flash replenishment imaging, it represents a major step forward in identifying malignant vascular patterns within the prostate.
