SONOGRAPHY OF THE PROSTATE GLAND AND SEMINAL VESICLES
• THE PROSTATIC ZONES ARE TYPICALLY HOMOGENEOUS AND MAY BE DIFFERENTIATED BY VISUALIZING LANDMARKS SUCH AS THE PROSTATIC URETHRA AND EJACULATORY DUCTS.
• PATIENTS MAY HAVE BENIGN CALCIFICATION AND SIMPLE-APPEARING CYSTS WITHIN THE PROSTATE AS WELL.
• THE SEMINAL VESICLES APPEAR AS HYPOECHOIC STRUCTURES BETWEEN THE BLADDER AND PROSTATE.
