Ultrasound differences between the hypertrophic‐congestive (HCUF) and a fibro‐sclerotic (FSUF) form of MAGI ¹¹

Hypertrophic‐congestive ultrasound form (HCUF): simultaneous presence of the following US criteria

prostate: increase of volume, areas of ipoechogenicity, dilatation of periprostatic venous plexus, single or multiple internal similar cystis areas; seminal vesicles: increase of volume, mono‐ or bilateral increased (>14 mm) APD, polycyclic areas separated by hyperechoic septa in both vesicles, fundus/body ratio >2.5; epididymis: increased (>6 mm) tail cranio‐caudal diameter, bilateral head and tail areas of ipoechogenicity, unchanged tail APD just after ejaculation

Fibro‐sclerotic ultrasound form (FSUF): simultaneous presence of following US criteria:

prostate: areas of hyperechogenicity, asymmetry of the gland volume; seminal vesicles: reduced (<7 mm) mono‐ or bilateral APD, thickened and/or calcified glandular epithelium, fundus/body ratio <1; epididymis: bilateral head and tail areas of hyperechogenicity
