A study was undertaken to establish the ranges of prostate dimensions, weight and volume in mature normal dogs and thus provide information which would allow differentiation from normality of size changes associated with disease. The study was performed on 154 healthy adult male entire dogs. Each prostate was imaged ultrasonographically and standard longitudinal and transverse sections were obtained. Prostate length (L), depth on longitudinal (DL) and transverse sections (DT) and width (W) were measured. Prostatic volume and weight were estimated according to formulae derived previously. There were statistically significant correlations between bodyweight or age and L, DL, DT and W. There were also significant correlations between estimated prostatic weight or volume and bodyweight, age, L, DL, DT and W. Formulae were derived to express the relationships between prostate size (weight or volume) and age or bodyweight.
开展了一项研究，以确定成熟正常犬前列腺的尺寸、重量和体积范围，从而提供信息，以便区分与疾病相关的大小变化与正常情况。该研究对154只健康成年雄性未绝育犬进行。对每个前列腺进行超声成像，并获取标准的纵向和横向切片。测量前列腺长度（L）、纵向（DL）和横向切片（DT）的深度以及宽度（W）。根据先前推导的公式估算前列腺体积和重量。体重或年龄与L、DL、DT和W之间存在统计学显著相关性。估计的前列腺重量或体积与体重、年龄、L、DL、DT和W之间也存在显著相关性。推导了公式以表达前列腺大小（重量或体积）与年龄或体重之间的关系。
