Overview
Ultrasound can be used to diagnose prostatitis. On ultrasonography, focal hypoechoic area in the periphery of the prostate represents prostatitis. Fluid collection can show abscess formation. Colour Doppler ultrasound may also prove to be very effective.[1][2]

On ultrasonography, focal hypoechoic region located in the peripheral part of the prostate represents prostatitis. Fluid collection can show abscess formation. Colour Doppler ultrasound may also prove to be very effective.[1][3]
Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System
Prostate Imaging reporting and Data System or PIRADS score is very helpful in diagnosing prostatitis and differentiating it from prostatic cancer.[4][5]
- A higher PIRADS score can differentiate prostatic inflammation from carcinoma more reliably
- Decreased diffusion favours the diagnosis of prostatitis
