Abstract
The major role of computed tomography (CT) in prostatic diseases is staging of prostatic carcinoma (not diagnosis) and evaluation of therapy in prostatic diseases. CT can estimate prostatic volume accurately. CT is also useful for demarcating optimal radiation treatment portals and determining the geometry of radioactive implants.
