The use of sonography in diagnosing prostate gland diseases has proven very helpful. In contrast to x-raying, it allows the exact determination of the size and position of the prostate, without invasive methods or the danger of side-effects. It also allows the evaluation of its inner construction. For the veterinarian, this is important when weighing the different therapeutic possibilities. Through sonographic findings the kind, extent and localisation of necessary surgery can be decided before hand. The prognosis is facilitated and a continuous control of the intraprostatic process can be carried out, (for example; regression after castration, marsupialisation or antibiotic therapy). One must point out that, when judging prostate gland diseases, the diagnosis should never be made solely on sonographic results, but only in combination with clinical and laboratory examinations.
超声检查在诊断前列腺疾病方面已被证明非常有用。与X光检查不同，它无需侵入性方法或副作用风险，就能精确确定前列腺的大小和位置。它还能评估前列腺的内部结构。对于兽医来说，在权衡不同治疗可能性时，这一点很重要。通过超声检查结果，可以提前确定必要手术的类型、范围和位置。这有助于判断预后情况，并能对前列腺内的病情进行持续监测（例如，去势、袋形缝合或抗生素治疗后的消退情况）。必须指出的是，在判断前列腺疾病时，绝不能仅依据超声检查结果做出诊断，而应结合临床和实验室检查。
