Two methods for estimating the weight of the canine prostate gland in vivo were investigated. Twenty-six beagle dogs underwent transrectal and transabdominal ultrasound examination of the prostate, followed by careful, standardized caliper measurement of the prostate at surgical exploration. The prostate glands were then removed and weighed, and nomograms were constructed for use in future laboratory research. The validity of these nomograms for determining prostate weight in vivo was confirmed on evaluation of 6 additional dogs.
研究了两种在体内估计犬前列腺重量的方法。26只比格犬接受了经直肠和经腹前列腺超声检查，随后在手术探查时对前列腺进行仔细、标准化的卡尺测量。然后取出前列腺并称重，并构建列线图以供未来实验室研究使用。通过对另外6只犬的评估，证实了这些列线图在体内确定前列腺重量的有效性。
