McNeal first described the zonal anatomy of the prostate about 40 years ago, outlining 4 zones of the prostate and defining their relation to the urethra and the ejaculatory ducts. The zonal anatomy remains the accepted model for describing the prostate and the zones are well-depicted on MR imaging, including the central zone, which until recently was grouped with the transition zone in the radiology literature. An accurate understanding of the zonal anatomy and periprostatic anatomy is key for accurate interpretation of the prostate MR imaging.
大约40年前，麦克尼尔首次描述了前列腺的分区解剖结构，概述了前列腺的4个区域，并明确了它们与尿道和射精管的关系。分区解剖结构仍然是描述前列腺的公认模型，这些区域在磁共振成像（MR成像）上显示良好，包括中央区，直到最近在放射学文献中它还与移行区归为一组。准确理解分区解剖结构和前列腺周围解剖结构是准确解读前列腺MR成像的关键。
