Transrectal ultrasonography: three years' experience. 1986

M Boscaini, and L Masoni, and A Montori

Since 1983 we have used radial and linear ultrasound probes in the laboratory and clinical examination of the rectum. Normal endosonographic appearances have been characterised by examining polyethylene membranes and resection specimens. Twenty normal subjects and 11 patients with rectal cancer have been examined, and of these 9 were correctly staged.
