Objective: To semi-quantitatively evaluate the perfusion of benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) using CT perfusion imaging. Materials and Methods: CT perfusion imaging was performed in 17 patients with clinically diagnosed BPH and 5 healthy volunteers. Perfusion imaging and parameters were analyzed, including time to peak(TTP), relative blood volume(RBV). Results: The RBV were higher in the center of BPH than that of the healthy people, with significant difference. Conclusions: CT perfusion imaging provides a new way in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of prostatic diseases.
