One hundred patients with suspicion of prostatic disease were examined by transrectal ultrasound. Two urologists with experience in this technique performed the examination separately for each patient. In the present study the differential diagnosis between normal prostate, benign hypertrophy and prostate cancer was almost perfectly reproducible. However, prostatitis was a difficult diagnosis by transrectal ultrasound. Prostatic cysts and stones were readily recognised. Although not perfectly reproducible, the transverse dimensions of the prostatic adenomas were reasonably comparable. Measurement of the longitudinal diameter of prostatic adenomas was difficult and poorly reproducible in our hands.
对100例疑似前列腺疾病的患者进行了经直肠超声检查。两位有该技术经验的泌尿科医生分别对每位患者进行检查。在本研究中，正常前列腺、良性增生和前列腺癌之间的鉴别诊断几乎完全可重复。然而，经直肠超声诊断前列腺炎很困难。前列腺囊肿和结石很容易识别。虽然不完全可重复，但前列腺腺瘤的横向尺寸具有合理的可比性。在我们手中，测量前列腺腺瘤的纵向直径很困难且重复性差。
