Formulas and thresholds
Volume uses the ellipsoid formula: length ร width ร height ร ฯ/6 (equivalent to 0.52 ร L ร W ร H). PSA density = serum PSA (ng/mL) / volume (mL); a PSA density โฅ 0.15 ng/mL/mL is the conventional threshold associated with higher risk of clinically significant prostate cancer. Size interpretation: โค 30 mL normal, 30โ50 mild, 50โ80 moderate, > 80 mL severe prostatomegaly.
