title: Use of MRI for Lobar Classification of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: Potential Phenotypic Biomarkers for Research on Treatment Strategies.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We present an MRI classification of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) for use as a phenotype biomarker in the study of proposed therapeutic interventions.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Six patterns of BPH distribution were identified. Illustrations are provided for each classification type.
