    Summary

    Transabdominal ultrasound can help diagnose benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Specific echo-textural patterns and findings like adenoma echo patterns and focal densities aid in accurate diagnosis, achieving 84% accuracy.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition in aging men.
    • Accurate diagnosis of BPH is crucial for appropriate management.
    • Transabdominal ultrasound is a widely available imaging modality.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic utility of transabdominal ultrasound in identifying benign prostatic hyperplasia.
    • To establish sonographic criteria for the diagnosis of BPH.
    • To determine the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound in differentiating BPH.

    Main Methods:

    • Fifty-one patients with pathologically confirmed BPH underwent transabdominal ultrasound examinations.
    • Detailed analysis of prostate echo-textural patterns was performed.
    • Specific sonographic findings were correlated with pathological diagnoses.

    Main Results:

    • The adenoma echo pattern was observed in 47 cases.
    • Frequent findings included shadowing echo-dense foci, brighter-than-capsule densities, and focal densities <6 mm.
    • Intact capsule (46 cases), uninvolved bladder, and normal seminal vesicles were also noted.
    • Diagnostic accuracy for BPH reached 84% based on established criteria.

    Conclusions:

    • Transabdominal ultrasound demonstrates significant potential for diagnosing benign prostatic hyperplasia.
    • Specific sonographic features, including adenoma echo patterns and focal densities, are key diagnostic indicators.
    • Ultrasound offers a reliable and accurate method for BPH diagnosis in clinical practice.
