    Computed tomography (CT) scans accurately estimate prostate gland volume using the ellipsoid formula. This non-invasive method is valuable for assessing benign prostatic hyperplasia size before surgery and tracking treatment changes.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Prostate gland volume estimation is crucial for diagnosing and managing benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
    • Accurate preoperative assessment of prostatic size aids surgical planning and patient counseling.
    • Non-invasive methods for monitoring prostate volume changes are needed for evaluating treatment efficacy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the accuracy of the ellipsoid formula using computed tomography (CT) scans for estimating prostatic gland volume in patients with BPH.
    • To compare CT-derived volume calculations with the actual weight of resected adenomas.
    • To determine the clinical utility of this non-invasive method for preoperative assessment and monitoring treatment outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of CT scans from 32 patients diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

  • Prostate gland volume calculated using the established ellipsoid formula on CT images.
  • Comparison of calculated volumes with the resected adenoma weight obtained during open surgery.

    • Main Results:

    • A strong positive correlation (r = 0.89) was observed between CT-calculated prostatic volume and resected adenoma weight.
    • The average residual error in volume estimation was found to be 12 grams.
    • The ellipsoid formula applied to CT scans provides a reliable estimation of prostatic volume.

    Conclusions:

    • CT-based estimation of prostate volume using the ellipsoid formula is a valuable and accurate non-invasive tool.
    • This method is highly useful for preoperative assessment of prostatic size in benign prostatic hyperplasia.
    • It offers a reliable approach for monitoring changes in prostate volume during non-surgical treatment interventions.
