Abstract

The vast majority of prostate imaging is for the localization, characterization, and staging of cancer, making it the focus of this chapter. Ultrasound, MRI, CT, and radionuclide studies may be used in the diagnosis, staging, and posttreatment monitoring of prostate cancer. Each serves a unique function depending on the predicted aggressiveness of disease. In addition, we will review nonmalignant disorders of the prostate, of which imaging plays a limited role.
