[Using energetic Doppler-angiography in combined diagnostics of prostatic abscess].
Diagnostic possibilities of conventional clinical-laboratory, physical methods, seroscale echography and energetic dopplerangiography (EDA) were compared in 32 patients with prostatic abscess (PA). Nonspecific symptoms hamper conventional PA diagnosis. PA is detected, as a rule, at transrectal ultrasonic investigation (TUI) which is effective in formed PA (sensitivity 100%) but is low effective in early PA (sensitivity 50%). Minimal size of PA detectable by TUI is 7 mm (mean 12 +/- 1.2 mm). EDA improves diagnostic potential of TUI in infiltrative PA (sensitivity 91.7%). In established PA, EDA confirms TUI findings. Transabdominal ultrasonography has insufficient resolution and must be used for PA screening.
