The testicular atrophy index evaluates the degree of damage caused by cryptorchidism, but it remains unclear whether changes in. However, for larger prostates where size may alter surgical management, we would recommend TRUS or cross-sectional imaging. Testicular volume is associated with reproductive function. to human chorionic gonadotropin is predicted by initial testicular size. Bland-Altman analysis showed agreement between PUS and TRUS only for prostates ≤ 30 cm3.įor prostates less than 30cc, we found that PUS is interchangeable with TRUS in estimating prostate volume. Prostate volume in testosteronetreated and. Mean volume differences between the two modalities for the data (volPUS - volTRUS) was (-0.3 ± 1.1) cm3. Median age was 63, median PSA value prior to PUS was 7.6 ng/mL, and only 20% were white. This analysis was done for the whole sample population as well as for specific groupings according to BMI, prostate size, and time between exams.Ģ36 patients had PUS followed by TRUS and met study inclusion criteria. PUS and TRUS were compared by calculating the Pearson correlation coefficient and ICC, and agreement between modalities assessed using the Bland Altman analysis. Prostate volume was derived from ellipsoid volume calculation using dimensions measured on ultrasound. We performed a single-center, retrospective study of 299 patients with prostate sizing between Januand August 31, 2017. Ultrasound is a quick and radiation-free imaging modality. AUA guidelines (2018) for surgical management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) now includes consideration of prostate volume measurement prior to surgical intervention. Prostate volume plays a vital role in all types of prostate disease. To compare the accuracy of prostate sizing between pelvic abdominal (PUS) and transrectal (TRUS) ultrasound in a large, diverse cohort of men at our institution. Comparison of Transabdominal and Transrectal Ultrasound for Sizing of the Prostate.
