Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy in prostate tuberculosis

Urology. 2010 May;75(5):1065-6. doi: 10.1016/j.urology.2009.06.069. Epub 2009 Sep 25.

Abstract

Prostate tuberculosis is an uncommon disease of the prostate, which usually involves the upper urinary tract. In the elderly patients, it may be mistaken for prostate carcinoma, both clinically and by conventional radiology. However, magnetic resonance spectroscopy can provide more information to differentiate prostate tuberculosis from prostate cancer.
