It consists of a system for palpation of the rectal face of the prostate that transforms the information collected into objective, reproducible and useful information. The system makes it possible to identify areas of high rigidity reaching the entire peripheral area, transforming a diagnostic maneuver for prostate cancer into an objective one, which until now has been subjective and unreliable. All this in a short space of time, carried out in a less aggressive and more objective way than rectal examination. The device consists of a manual electronic instrument with a handle (1) and a scanning rod (3), which includes at least two concentric force/pressure sensors of different heights, as well as an ultrasonic imaging system which, through means of connection to external devices for analysis/control, allows the data obtained to be analyzed and the anatomy of the prostate being analyzed to be visualized in real time.
