TRANSRECTAL ULTRASONOGRAPHY
in patients with
CHRONIC PROSTATITIS SYNDROME

- image examples -

© 1996, Ivo Tarfusser, MD

All images are scanned in from high resolution sonography print-outs, cropped, scaled down and compressed to 16-color greyscale "gif"-format in order to reduce file size and transmission speed. Viewing the image files with a graphic program like PaintPro or LView will, in most instances, yield better image quality. Nonetheless, considerable loss of resolution has to be accepted due to this image-processing.
With Netscape 2.0, it is necessary to configure the way images are processed and displayed: click "Options", then "General preferences", then the "Image"-tab and, finally, "dithered".
This image collection is under construction and will gradually be completed.
