How To Calculate The Volume and Weight of the Prostate
The volume of the prostate: the transverse diameter, the longitudinal diameter and the antero-posterior diameter of the prostate will be measured by ultrasound, the volume of the prostate is equal to 0.523 mutiplied by the product of the three diameters of the prostate. And the weight of the prostate equals the volume of the prostate mutiplied by 1.05.
For a normal prostate the transverse diameter should be 4 cm, the longitudinal, 3 cm, and the antero-posterior diameter, 2 cm. The normal prostate is less than 20ml in volume and less than 20 grams in weight.
