To review the normal anatomy on TRUS & correlation with cross-sectional imaging(CT/MRI)
To discuss the imaging findings of pathologies of prostate & surrounding structures
To explain the utility of TRUS in interventions
Normal imaging anatomy of prostate, seminal vesicles and surrounding structures on ultrasound.
Pathologies of prostate:
Prostatitis:hyperechoic and hypoechoic areas within the prostate with capsule
thickening suggesting seminal vesiculitis
Prostatic abscess
Granulomatous prostatitis:hyperechoic and calcified areas scattered within the prostate and the seminal vesicles
Prostate cancer: Hypoechoic focal lesions and heterogeneous texture
Pathologies beyond the prostate:
Utricular cysts:small midline lesions
Mullerian duct cysts:large midline cysts protruding above the prostate
Ejaculatory duct cysts:thick walled cystic lesions along the course of the ejaculatory duct
Seminalvesicle cysts
Bladder: cystitis, diverticulum, colovesical fistula
Pelvic AVM
Ectopic ureter
TRUS guided interventions
Biopsies
Cyst/abscess aspiration
Seminal vesiculography
Sperm harvesting
The major teaching points of this exhibit are:
1.Review of normal imaging anatomy on TRUS and correlation with CT/MRI
2.TRUS of pathologies of prostate & surrounding structures.
