1. What is Testicle Volume Ultrasound Calculation?

Definition: This calculator estimates testicular volume using ultrasound measurements based on the ellipsoid formula.

Purpose: It helps medical professionals assess testicular size, which is important for evaluating puberty, fertility, and various medical conditions.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ V = \frac{\pi}{6} \times L \times W \times H \]

Where:

\( V \) — Volume of testicle (cm³)
\( L \) — Length (cm)
\( W \) — Width (cm)
\( H \) — Height (cm)

Explanation: The formula approximates the testicle as an ellipsoid and calculates its volume using the three orthogonal measurements.

3. Importance of Testicular Volume Measurement

Details: Testicular volume correlates with spermatogenesis and hormonal function. Normal adult testicular volume ranges between 10-20 cm³.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the three orthogonal measurements (length, width, height) in centimeters obtained from ultrasound imaging. All values must be > 0.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why use ultrasound measurements?
A: Ultrasound provides accurate, non-invasive measurements of testicular dimensions with excellent reproducibility.

Q2: What's the normal volume range?
A: Normal adult testicular volume is typically 10-20 cm³, with some variation based on age and ethnicity.

Q3: How does this compare to orchidometer measurements?
A: Ultrasound is more accurate than clinical orchidometry, which tends to overestimate volume by 20-40%.

Q4: When is volume measurement clinically important?
A: Important for evaluating puberty, infertility, varicocele, hypogonadism, and testicular cancer surveillance.

Q5: How should measurements be taken?
A: Measure the longest axis (length), greatest transverse diameter (width), and greatest anteroposterior diameter (height).
