Enlarged prostate                intravesical enlargement of median lobe

Ultrasound image of BPH                TRUS image of benign prostatic hyperplasia

This 80 yr. old male patient presented with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Transabdominal ultrasound scan images reveal obvious intravesical enlargement of the enlarged median lobeof the prostate. Post-voiding trans-rectal ultrasound scan (TRUS) images reveal- 1) large volume of residual urine (303 cc) (more than 40 cc. is abnormal). 2) gross enlargement of the prostate mainly involving the transition zone. 3) intra-vesical enlargement of median lobe. 4) few small cysts in inner gland 3) there is also evidence of corpora amylacea and nodularity in the transition zone. 5) the peripheral zone is compressed by the enlarged transition zone.  Diagnosis: these ultrasound images are diagnostic of benign hyperplasia of prostate.

2) Color doppler imaging of prostatitis:

color doppler image in prostatitis       prostatitis- increased vascularity

ultrasound image of acute inflammation of the prostate      sagittal image shows prostatitis

The above TRUS ultrasound and color doppler images in a young male patient show a) hypoechoic prostate b) gross augmentation of vascularity in the prostatic tissue. These ultrasound findings suggest presence of acute prostatitis. Ultrasound images taken using Nemio XG color doppler machine (Toshiba).

3) Some more images of acute prostatitis (another patient):

ultrasound image of acute prostatitis      showing patchy hypoechoic areas in prostate

marked vascularity on color doppler imaging     sonography of acute prostatitis

color doppler imaging of acute prostatitis

Note the markedly hypoechoic patches in the inner zone of the prostate (arrowed), which appear overtly vascular on color doppler imaging.
