CT
Contrast enhanced CT is the best imaging tool if abscess is suspected. CT will demonstrate a diffusely enlarged, edematous gland with predilection for peripheral zone involvement. When an abscess is present it is seen as a rim-enhancing, unilocular or multilocular, hypodensity in the peripheral zone. Central zone involvement is encountered in post transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).
