These tests serve as baseline tests and over a period of time can be also repeated and a comparison can be done. 

Uroflow :- It measures the velocity of the flow of urine over
time. It tells the doctor how slow or fast the urine is flowing and the extent of the blockage due to the prostate enlargement. It is an objective test of your symptoms. You should try and pass urine in the commode provided with the machine, then the urine spills outside the flow test may need to be repeated. 

Ultrasound :- Ultrasound uses sound waves to create a two-dimensional image of your prostate, bladder or kidneys.
