Core Tip Ultrasonography is a practical and affordable modality for imaging evaluation of the efficacy of prostatic artery embolization (PAE). This evaluation includes, but is not limited to, standard measurements of prostatic volume, intravesical prostatic protrusion and post void residual volume. With contrast-enhanced ultrasound, prostatic infarcts can be easily detected shortly after PAE, and their extent appears to have clinical and prognostic value. Strain- and shear-wave elastography can depict the changes in prostatic consistency caused by PAE. A comprehensive description of all these applications is attempted in the following review.
