Estimation of prostate Volume Measurment in young Adult Using Ultrasonography

Abstract

This study was cried out to determine the range of volumes of the prostate gland in adult Sudanese males using transabdominal ultrasonography, curved low frequancy transducer is used, two views are taken sagittal and axial to provide acceptable range of normal prostate gland volume. A prospective random selection of fifty asymptomatic adult males was recruited and measurement of the maximum length, height and width of their prostate gland were obtained and the volume was calculated. Subjects were selected, if they had no complaints related to the urinary system or signs of urinary tract disease. The mean measurement of the three parameters length, width, and height are 2.68, 3.56 and 3.02 respectively. The mean prostate volume obtained from the above parameters was 15.24ml with stander diviation plus or minus (4.30). The result are discussed in details, from the data obtained Finally, Prostate volume measurement was calculated by (measured hight × length in sagittal plane × width in the axial plane and multiply by 0.52) calculation done by machine.The findings show that prostate volume increases linearly with body weight and age
