The value of CT and sonography in the diagnosis and follow-up of abscesses of the prostate was studied in six patients with this disease. Five had CT alone, one had CT and sonography, and one had sonography only. CT findings included an enlarged gland with nonenhancing fluid-density collections that sometimes were multiseptated or had enhancing rims. Sonographic findings were similar, showing a hypoechoic mass with thick walls. Follow-up examinations after antibiotic therapy (one CT, one sonogram) showed improvement or resolution. In the patients studied, CT and sonography were useful methods to detect and follow the course of prostatic abscess.
对6例前列腺脓肿患者进行了CT和超声检查在前列腺脓肿诊断及随访中的价值研究。5例仅行CT检查，1例同时行CT和超声检查，1例仅行超声检查。CT表现为前列腺增大，有不强化的液性密度影，有时呈多房性或有强化的边缘。超声表现相似，为低回声肿块，壁增厚。抗生素治疗后的随访检查（1次CT，1次超声）显示病情改善或痊愈。在所研究的患者中，CT和超声是检测前列腺脓肿及观察其病程的有用方法。
