  "id": "MLC-T-ONC-003893",
  "term": "high-resolution micro-ultrasound",
  "field": "Oncology and biomedicine",
  "definition": "A procedure that uses high-energy sound waves to create pictures of the prostate and surrounding tissue that are much more detailed than standard ultrasound. This makes it easier to see a suspicious or abnormal area of the prostate and determine if a biopsy is needed. High-resolution micro-ultrasound may also be used during a biopsy to help guide the removal of a sample of abnormal prostate tissue. It may be used to help diagnose prostate cancer, monitor prostate cancer growth over time, and plan treatment.",
