This is indicated in instances where the PSA blood test is considered out of acceptable range or where the physical exam of the prostate is considered suggestive of the presence of prostate cancer.

2. Patients are to hold blood thinning medicines such as aspirin, ticlid, and aggrenox for 1 week prior to procedure and coumadin should be held for 4 days prior to procedure.

4. Prior to procedure patients are to self administer a fleets enema at home 2-3 hours prior to procedure.
