Shearwave elastography imaging of the prostate. Legend: An area with decreased tissue elasticity is visible in the left side of the prostate in the mid plane on SWE (white arrow) (a). This area is also visible as hypo-echogenious lesion on the corresponding greyscale image (white arrow) (b). A normal SWE pattern is visible in the base plane with the peripheral zone homogeneous coded in blue and the transition zone slightly heterogeneous in yellow (c). There is still some hypoechogenicity visible on the corresponding greyscale image (white arrow) (d). Radical prostatectomy revealed a Gleason 3 + 4 = 7 PCa with its primary focus in the left mid and apex of the prostate while the left base of the prostate was free of PCa tumour
