Abstract
A hand-held probe is configured for a prostate cancer screening test and includes a pressure sensor array, a test progression indicator, a display, and an electronic circuit for processing pressure data. The test progression indicator is configured to guide the operator during the test as to the proper position of the probe about the prostate and the progress of collecting and accumulating test data. Data quality thresholds are used to accept or reject readings from the pressure sensor array. The results are presented as either a high or low probability of prostate cancer. The probe is adapted for easy use in an office of a general practitioner.
