Ultrasonic appearances associated with prostatic inflammation: a preliminary study.

G J Griffiths, A J Crooks, E E Roberts

    Clinical Radiology
    |September 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Per-rectal ultrasonography identified specific features in all patients diagnosed with prostatitis. Changes in prostate volume and weight may indicate how well treatment is working for this condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Prostatitis presents with symptoms of prostatic inflammation.
    • Diagnosis is often confirmed by bacteriology, microscopy, or pH changes in expressed prostatic secretion.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of per-rectal ultrasonography in diagnosing prostatitis.
    • To identify ultrasonic features associated with prostatitis.
    • To explore the potential of prostate volume and weight changes as indicators of treatment response.

    Main Methods:

    • Per-rectal ultrasonography was conducted on 40 patients diagnosed with prostatitis.
    • Patients' diagnoses were confirmed through clinical signs, bacteriology, microscopy, or pH analysis of expressed prostatic secretion.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Specific ultrasonic features were observed in all patients with prostatitis to varying degrees.
    • Prostate volume and weight changes were noted, suggesting a potential link to treatment efficacy.

    Conclusions:

    • Per-rectal ultrasonography reveals characteristic features in patients with prostatitis.
    • Monitoring prostate volume and weight via ultrasound may help assess treatment response in prostatitis patients.
