Transabdominal (suprapubic) sonography of the bladder and prostate is not limited to special indications but should be considered an integrated part of the urologic sonographic evaluation of the genitourinary tract. Information about many pathological conditions (e.g. residual urine, stone, tumor, diverticulum, enlarged prostate) is obtained without delay, without need of instrumentation or exposure to X-rays. Transurethral sonography has proven useful in the differentiation of superficial bladder tumors from deep infiltrating ones. Transvaginal or transrectal examination of the bladder neck has developed into a new modality for urodynamic examination. More than any other diagnostic modality, transrectal ultrasound of the prostate has become a valuable tool for the more correct detection and staging of prostatic carcinoma.
经腹（耻骨上）膀胱及前列腺超声检查并不局限于特殊指征，而应被视为泌尿生殖系统泌尿外科超声评估的一个组成部分。无需耽搁、无需特殊仪器或接受X线照射，即可获取有关多种病理状况（如残余尿、结石、肿瘤、憩室、前列腺增生）的信息。经尿道超声检查已被证明在鉴别浅表性膀胱肿瘤与深层浸润性肿瘤方面很有用。膀胱颈的经阴道或经直肠检查已发展成为尿动力学检查的一种新方式。与任何其他诊断方式相比，前列腺经直肠超声已成为更准确检测前列腺癌及进行分期的重要工具。
