The direct intraprostatic injection of ethiodol was done in 10 cases to visualize the prostate gland. Immediately after the injection the contrast material was distributed uniformly throughout the prostatic lobe, opacifying it with a fine reticular pattern (prostatogram). The size, shape and intravesical projection of the prostate could be studied accurately in all patients and the findings were confirmed at operation. All patients tolerated the procedure well without any local or systemic complications. Direct intraprostatic injection of the contrast material did not alter the gross nor the microscopic anatomy of the gland. Prostatography is a safe adjuvant radiologic procedure to obtain a 3-dimensional image of prostatic hypertrophy. This information would be useful in the proper planning of operative or radiation treatment of prostatic diseases. It also might be helpful in delineating the deep-seated suspicious prostatic nodules that are inaccessible for clinical examination.
对10例患者进行了乙碘油直接前列腺内注射以观察前列腺。注射后造影剂立即均匀分布于整个前列腺叶，呈现精细的网状形态使其显影（前列腺造影）。所有患者均可准确研究前列腺的大小、形状及膀胱内突出情况，且手术结果证实了这些发现。所有患者对该操作耐受性良好，未出现任何局部或全身并发症。造影剂直接前列腺内注射未改变腺体的大体及微观解剖结构。前列腺造影是一种安全的辅助放射学检查方法，可获得前列腺增生的三维图像。该信息有助于合理规划前列腺疾病的手术或放射治疗。对于临床检查难以触及的深部可疑前列腺结节的勾勒也可能有帮助。
