Methods for diagnosing prostate cancer (PCa) are developing in the direction of imaging. Advanced ultrasound examination modes include micro-Doppler, computerized-transrectal ultrasound, elastography, contrast-enhanced ultrasound and microultrasound. When two or more of these modes are used in PCa diagnosis, the combined technique is called multiparameter ultrasound (mp-US). Mp-US provides complementary information to multiparameter magnetic resonance imaging (mp-MRI) for diagnosing PCa. At present, no study has attempted to combine the characteristics of different ultrasound modes with advanced classification systems similar to the PIRADS system in mpMRI for the diagnosis of PCa. As an imaging method, mp-US has great potential in the diagnosis of PCa.
前列腺癌（PCa）的诊断方法正朝着影像学方向发展。先进的超声检查模式包括微多普勒、计算机化经直肠超声、弹性成像、超声造影和微超声。当在PCa诊断中使用这些模式中的两种或更多种时，这种联合技术被称为多参数超声（mp-US）。mp-US为诊断PCa提供了与多参数磁共振成像（mp-MRI）互补的信息。目前，尚无研究尝试将不同超声模式的特征与mpMRI中类似于PIRADS系统的先进分类系统相结合用于PCa的诊断。作为一种成像方法，mp-US在PCa诊断中具有巨大潜力。
