    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Prostate size and volume are key indicators in urological health.
    • Accurate measurement is essential for diagnosis and treatment planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare prostate size and volume estimations using transabdominal and transrectal ultrasound.
    • To identify optimal coefficients and formulas for accurate prostate measurements.

    Main Methods:

    • Transabdominal and transrectal ultrasound were used in 88 patients.
    • Specific coefficients (0.9 for thickness in transabdominal, 1.3 for linear transducer volume) were investigated.
    • A formula based on the product of three gland sizes was evaluated.

    Main Results:

    • Transabdominal and transrectal ultrasound yielded comparable results.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • A formula involving half the product of three gland sizes is recommended for volume and mass.
  • Adenoma size can be estimated by subtracting 25 cm³ from total prostatic volume.

    • Conclusions:

    • Both ultrasound methods offer reliable prostate measurements.
    • Recommended coefficients and formulas enhance accuracy in prostate volume estimation.
    • Precise measurement aids in the clinical assessment of prostate conditions.
