Most men with hematospermia or hemospermia (HS) are young (<40 years of age), presenting with transient or episodic HS without other signs or symptoms of disease. The condition is self-limiting in most cases and idiopathic in nature. When a cause can be identified, infections of the urogenital tract are the most common. Imaging does not play a role in this patient population. In older men (>40 years of age), clinical screening for prostate cancer is advised. Furthermore, when HS is persistent or has symptoms, causes include obstruction or stricture at the level of the verumontanum, calcifications or calculi in the prostate, ejaculatory ducts or seminal vesicles, and cysts arising within these structures. Noninvasive imaging, predominantly transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) and MRI, can be used in men of any age with persistent or refractory HS, or other associated symptoms or signs. TRUS is considered as the first-line imaging with MRI used when TRUS is inconclusive or negative. The American College of Radiology Appropriateness Criteria are evidence-based guidelines for specific clinical conditions that are reviewed annually by a multidisciplinary expert panel. The guideline development and revision include an extensive analysis of current medical literature from peer-reviewed journals and the application of well-established methodologies (RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method and Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation or GRADE) to rate the appropriateness of imaging and treatment procedures for specific clinical scenarios. In those instances where evidence is lacking or equivocal, expert opinion may supplement the available evidence to recommend imaging or treatment.

大多数患有血精或血精 (HS) 的男性都是年轻的 (<40岁),表现出短暂或发作性HS,没有其他疾病迹象或症状。在大多数情况下,这种情况是自限性的,本质上是特发性的。如果可以确定病因,则最常见的是泌尿生殖道感染。成像在该患者人群中不起作用。对于年龄较大的男性 (>40岁),建议临床筛查前列腺癌。此外,当HS持续存在或有症状时,原因包括在疣水平的阻塞或狭窄,前列腺,射精管或精囊中的钙化或结石,以及这些结构内出现的囊肿。非侵入性成像,主要是经直肠超声 (TRUS) 和MRI,可用于患有持续性或难治性HS或其他相关症状或体征的任何年龄的男性。当TRUS不确定或阴性时,TRUS被认为是MRI的一线成像。美国放射学学院的适当性标准是针对特定临床状况的循证指南,每年由多学科专家小组进行审查。指南的制定和修订包括对同行评审期刊中当前医学文献的广泛分析,以及对公认的方法 (RAND/UCLA适当性方法和建议评估,开发和评估或等级的分级) 的应用,以评估适当性特定临床情况下的成像和治疗程序。在证据缺乏或模棱两可的情况下,专家意见可以补充现有证据以建议成像或治疗。
