Volume estimation of the seminal vesicles by means of transrectal ultrasonotomography: a preliminary report.
The volume of the seminal vesicles was estimated in 27 cases by means of transrectal ultrasonotomography. The seminal vesicles of normal subjects were found to be generally larger than in cases of prostatic hypertrophy or cancer. The volume of the seminal vesicles in Klinefelter's syndrome was remarkably small. The correlation between the volume of the seminal vesicles and of the prostate is given.
