Abstract:
This a descriptive cross sectional study carried out in Medical Modern Center -Khartoum - Sudan from october-2016 to February 2017which discussed Estimation of Normal Prostate Volume in Adults using Ultrasonography.
A total of “60” men were selected randomly; all those men had age below forty years, have normal prostate. Any person had age above forty or had prostate disorders was excluded from this study.
All patients were subjected to be examined by U/S scanning using ‘Honda’ Aloka and General Electric scanners with 3,5MHz probe.
Trans abdominal scanning was performed for all persons to measure AP, transverse, thickness and volume of prostate, then evaluated the shape and texture of the prostate.
Study resulted that the mean prostate volume (22.3ml), the mean of length, width and thickness were (2.6) (3.5) (3.2) cm respectively.
Study concluded that the prostate volume was increased with increasing of age, weight and height.
This study recommended that further studies should be carried out in this field on many aspects such as increasing the number of patients, to compare between the role of U/S scanning and other diagnostic tools, using a trans rectal ultra sonographic approach and color Doppler ultrasonography.
