Aspects of imaging in the assessment and follow up of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
For assessing patients suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia and monitoring subsequent treatment, symptom questionnaires, uroflowmetry, prostate volume measurements, postvoiding residual urine volume measurements and pressure-flow studies may be used. This review highlights aspects of imaging in the assessment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, including volume determinations of prostate and postvoiding residual urine, texture imaging and biopsy guidance. Future developments are also briefly discussed.
