3.2.1\ Scanning Method

The patient lies flat with his bladder moderately filled. Transverse scannings of the prostate are obtained from the suprapubic symphysis at the lower abdomen.

3.2.2\ Section Structure

The anterior portion and the surrounding portion of prostatic urethra are the central zone and the transitional zone, respectively, while the posterior and lateral portions are the peripheral zone.

3.2.3\ Measuring Method and Normal

The transverse diameter of the prostate can be measured.

3.2.4\ The Clinical Application Value

The size, appearance, inner echogenicity, and continuity of the prostate capsule are the items to be observed. Prostatic calculi may easily form in the central zone. Whether there are nodules in the peripheral zone or not should be noticed.
