Ultrasound imaging, also called sonography or ultrasound scanning, produce pictures of the prostate glands by exposing part of the body to high-frequency sound waves. Ultrasound images can show the structure and movement of the body's internal organs and can show the blood flowing through blood vessels.

Ultrasound imaging helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. It is a simple and painless medical test and is very popular nowadays.

The prostate or another name transrectal ultrasound produces pictures of prostate glands. It sends sound waves through the rectum and it is a minimally invasive ultrasound scan.
