Ultrasonic appearances associated with prostatic inflammation: a preliminary study.
Per-rectal ultrasonography was performed on 40 patients in whom a diagnosis of prostatitis had been made on the basis of symptoms and signs of prostatic inflammation confirmed by bacteriology, microscopy or pH changes of expressed prostatic secretion. Certain ultrasonic features were present in all patients to a variable degree. A change in volume and weight of the prostate could be an indicator of treatment response.
