Computed tomography of the prostate.

J M Van Engelshoven, L Kreel

    Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography
    |February 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Computed tomography (CT) effectively visualizes prostate anatomy and enlargement. Analysis of 55 normal cases correlated CT findings with age and urinary symptoms, distinguishing prostatic calcifications.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Anatomy
    • Urology

    Background:

    • The prostate's conventional anatomy is well-documented.
    • Computed tomography (CT) offers detailed cross-sectional imaging.
    • Understanding normal CT prostate anatomy is crucial for diagnosing pathology.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe and illustrate the computed tomography (CT) anatomy of the prostate.
    • To analyze CT findings in normal prostates and correlate them with age and urinary symptoms.
    • To differentiate between phleboliths and prostatic calcification on CT.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of conventional prostate anatomy.
    • Analysis of CT scans from 55 "normal" cases.
    • Correlation of CT prostate measurements and relationships (e.g., to symphysis pubis, retropubic space, bladder) with patient age and reported urinary symptoms.

    Main Results:

    • Detailed description and illustration of prostate anatomy on CT.
    • Established normal size and positional parameters of the prostate on CT.
    • Observed correlations between CT features, age, and urinary symptoms.
    • Highlighted distinguishing features between phleboliths and prostatic calcification.

    Conclusions:

    • Computed tomography (CT) is an effective imaging modality for the prostate.
    • CT enables accurate assessment of prostatic size and surrounding structures.
    • CT findings can be correlated with patient age and potential urinary issues.
