Ultrasound in urology: Part two: Diagnostics of male genitalis

Abstract

Male genitalia includes the penis, testicles and the prostate. Ultrasound is a basic method for prostate exam, due to its obscure position deep in the pelvis. On the other hand, penis and scrotal content are very available to physical examination, but thanks to proximity to surface of the skin, the high frequency ultrasound gives us clear picture of the interior of this organs and that is why we use this method for the confirmation of clinical diagnosis and in decision making for further treatment.
