[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for writing in. CT scan gives a detailed evaluation of the abdomen and pelvic organs including prostate. The prostate gland is a small strawberry shaped organ located at the base of the urinary bladder. It enlarges in the elderly when the size is a concern. In CT scan, the prostate is not completely seen if the urinary bladder is not completely full. As you have mentioned the partially distended urinary bladder at the time of scan hence the doctor was not able to see the prostate clearly and make a comment about it. Please do not worry as this is only for the record and not a real problem.
