[Comparison of prostate sonography and the corresponding large-area histological section].

The present paper reports on a systematic, comparative sonographic and histologic study of 50 fresh cadaver prostates from current autopsy material. Following removal of the performed. Transverse sections of sonographic interest were marked on the specimen using a laterally introduced needle under sonographic control. After appropriate preparation a large-area section from this marked plane was made and compared with the sonogram. With a number of diseases and with regard to the shape and size of the organ sections the correlation between histologic and sonographic findings was generally good.
