New equipment for transrectal ultrasonomography has been developed. Wth this equipment an excellent cross-section picture of various intrapelvic organs is easily obtained. Diagnostic application of the technique is particularly significant for abnormalities of the prostate because the shape of the prostate cannot be revealed by x-ray. Diagnostic criteria for prostatic disease are described, with the demonstration of typical cases. In a test by well trained physicians the diagnostic accuracy of the new technique was more than 80 per cent. Ultrasonotomography provided for precise measurement of prostatic size. Transrectal ultrasonotomography is a promising new diagnostic technique that yeilds abundant information not available with former methods of examination. The procedure is likely to become one of th most important diagnostic tools in the field of urology.

70 patients with prostatic hyperplasia were observed. Among them 34 cases were treated with the regime of tonifying Kidney-replenishing Vitality (TKRV) and the other 36 cases were treated with removing blood stasis and resolving mass (Xiao Jin Dan). The dysuria of the patients in both groups was improved after treatment.

The prostatic weight was evaluated in 264 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia before transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P) by transrectal ultrasonotomography. In the first group of 121 among 132 patients, the weight of both the total prostate (EPWt) and the internal prostatic gland (EPWi) was estimated and compared to the actual weight of resected specimens (RPW). In the remaining 11 patients, EPWt was obtained but not EPWi because their prostatic gland echograms were obscure.

A software for a lap top computer to display prostatic contour three-dimensionally based on transrectal ultrasonograms was developed, and its clinical usefulness was examined. The prostatic contour of a case with prostatic cancer showed a typical irregular surface, and that of a case with prostatic hypertrophy had a smooth spherical shape, while that of a normal case had a flat shape. Each showed its characteristic shape.

We studied the effect of chlormadinone acetate (CMA) on benign prostatic hypertrophy. CMA (50 mg/day) was administered to 30 patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy.

We studied uroflowmetry in 25 normal adult males and 100 patients with benign prostate hypertrophy (BPH). We planned a new parameter, named average flow rate increase ratio (AFRIR), based on urinary flow rate curve. One hundred patients with BPH were measured presumed circle area ratio (PCAR) based on transrectal ultrasonotomography and performed comparative studies.
