Abstract
To evaluate the diagnostic value of infrared image system for chronic prostatitis(CP) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Fifteen patients with CP, 17 patients with BPH and 15 healthy volunteers were examined by infrared image system. The infrared thermal images were analyzed. Compared with healthy volunteers, CP and BPH group had significantly different in infrared thermal image of prostate, but there were no significant differences between CP and BPH group. Infrared image system is a useful tool to screen the prostatic diseases.
