The first 3D ultrasound magnetic wheel mover in the United States is in the Mount Sinai’s Urological Cystoscopy Suite. BK Medical has created a transrectal ultrasound probe that, while pivoting, will place ultrasound data files as they are received into a 3D cube for analysing during the procedure or back in the office for further analysis.

Prior to that, 3D ultrasound cubes were created by slowly pulling the ultrasound probes out of the rectum, which slightlyaltered the anatomy in the area of the prostate. The new BK Medical 3D magnetic wheel mover simply rotates right to left or left to right without moving the rectal or prostatic tissue creating a more accurate prostate inside of the cube.

Here are just some of the views and tools that our urologists can use to analyse the prostate ultrasound. This is a phantom (synthetic) prostate used for training.

The advantage for our urologists is the ability to analyze the patients prostate in much greater depth and detail. The software also has tools for measuring height, length and volume along with labeling, coloring, rotating, sculpting and with some external software we can create videos while touring all 3 dimensions of the prostate.

Prostate cancer questions and answers is a new blog with information and resources for those needing to know about urological problems and treatments. The Columbia University Division of Urology at Mount Sinai Medical Center located in Miami Beach Florida is bringing their Ivy League Medicine not only to the residents of South Florida but will now be online and build a comprehensive web presence for those interested in urinary system diseases and their best solutions.

Prostate cancer questions and answers will have unprecedented animations, video of the prostate in 3D and comparative pictures and videos of standard, aged, diseased, and repaired organs so that everyone will be able to clearly understand the medical jargon that patients are suddenly introduced to.

Our blog will have questions and answers from doctors, patients, technologists, family members, medical companies, research clinicians, nurses and medical team personnel.

The Prostate cancer questions and answers blog will keep bringing the newest medical research, clinical trials, and science and engineering breakthroughs along with information on the newest drugs along with how you can help as a volunteer, benefactor, or joining your local foundations.

We hope you gain insight from our new urology online resource. You can always come and learn or share your knowledge and experiences so that we all may experience a very healthy, active, long and happy life.
