Abstract

Objectives: to describe anatomical characteristics and variants of prostatic artery on multislice computed tomography. Subjects and Methods: descriptive statistic study. Reviewing 54 the MSCT images of benign prostate plasia patient. Results: the rate of finding 02 prostate arteries was very rare, only 06/104 sides of the pelvis, accounting for 5.8%. The most common type is the prostatic artery that separates from the internal pudendal artery, accounting for 58.2%. The most rare is the prostatic artery separating from the anterior branch of the internal iliac artery, accounting for 1.8%. The mean diameter of the prostatic artery was 1.26 ± 0.28mm. The torsion shape of the prostate artery is found in 55/110 cases, accounting for 50%. The observed rate of prostate atherosclerosis was 28.2%. There were 30/110 total cases where the prostatic artery junction was observed, accounting for 27.3%. Conclusions: Profound knowledge of PA anatomy and variants on MSCT is necessary to treat prostate diseases by prostatic arterial embolization.
