Summary

This study tests whether a special ultrasound contrast agent (tiny gas bubbles) can help doctors see prostate cancer on ultrasound images. The goal is to find a non-invasive way to diagnose prostate cancer, avoiding the need for a needle biopsy. The study involves 70 men who are already scheduled for prostate removal surgery. The contrast agent is safe and leaves the body within minutes through the lungs.
