    Some hospitals carry out MRI scan of the prostate==== Birmingham have the lead and then  Derby do that scan before carrying out a biopsy which may not be needed.   Other tests are available to the doctors but have all the hospitals got the right idea?   Nottingham definitely do not have that procedure in place as no doubt other hospitals....   It's best to research all possibilities before having the biopsy I would have thought!

    I thought ultrasound procedure was to detect stones? More in depth investigations include CT and as I said

    MRI and both of those scans with contrast(dye) which in some instances is more revealing.
