Appraisal of testicular volumes: volumes matching ultrasound values referenced to stages of genital development
BACKGROUND Testicular volumes obtained with orchidometers or external linear measurements in the scrotum (centimeter ruler or calipers) grossly over-estimate ultrasound volumes, have much variability and may not be accurate or reproducible. The reference of the values obtained by orchidometers or US, to age or Tanner stages is not useful to determine the normal values for stages of puberty, bec...
متن کاملA medical calculator to determine testicular volumes matching ultrasound values from the width of the testis obtained in the scrotum with a centimeter ruler
The determination of the testicular volume is of considerable importance to assess the onset, progression and disorders of puberty, abnormal testicular development, and a number of other conditions; and in adults, assessment of fertility. A number of clinical methods have been used for the measurement of testicular volumes in the scrotum: a centimeter ruler, sliding calipers, and orchidometers....
متن کاملTesticular volumes revisited: A proposal for a simple clinical method that can closely match the volumes obtained by ultrasound and its clinical application
UNLABELLED BACKGROUND The testicular volumes obtained with the clinical methods, calculated using the ellipsoid equation W2 x L x π/6, correlate with those obtained by ultrasound (US) and are useful clinically, but overestimate ultrasound values, mainly because of the inclusion of the scrotal skin and epididymis, have much variability, and may not be accurate or reproducible.The US measureme...
متن کاملUltrasonographically measured testicular volumes in 0- to 6-year-old boys.
BACKGROUND Aside from converted data from orchidometer measurements, there are no referential values for testicular volume ultrasound measurements in children available. Therefore, the aim of this study was to obtain ultrasonographically measured normative data for testicular volumes in 0- to 6-year-old boys. METHODS A total of 344 boys from different ethnic backgrounds were studied. For the ...
متن کاملTesticular Ultrasound as a Breeding Soundness Examination and Biometric Tool for West African Dwarf Buck Goats
This study was carried out to evaluate testicular ultrasound as a breeding soundness examination (BSE) and biometric tool for West African dwarf (WAD) buck goats. Twelve bucks of proven breeding capability were selected for this purpose. Scrotal circumferences of these animals were measured using a flexible tape. Testicular ultrasound was carried out on the transverse and longitudinal planes on...
