Abstract

The advent of ultrasonography and the development of intrarectal techniques have made possible semiquantitative prostatic volumetrics for more accurate preoperative assessment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) as well as earlier diagnosis of prostatic carcinoma (PC). Computed tomography has increased the scope of prostatic imaging by including regional lymph nodes as well. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has enabled viewing of the internal architecture of the prostate gland, thus allowing precise diagnosis of BPH and recognition of carcinoma. MRI is also the most exact method of staging PC.
