Normal ultrasonographic anatomy of the prostate in Kars Shepherd Dogs

Bu çalışmada, Kars Çoban Köpeklerinde prostatın normal ultrasonografik anatomisinin tanımlanması ve prostat boyutlarının belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Çalışma materyalini, erişkin, kastre edilmemiş ve sağlıklı 10 erkek Kars Çoban Köpeği oluşturdu. Gerekli hazırlıkların yapılmasından sonra transabdominal ultrasonografi ile prostat muayeneleri yapılarak elde edilen bulgular değerlendirildi. Verilerin istatistiki değerlendirmesi Minitab programında simple T testi ile yapıldı. Transabdominal ultrasonografik muayenede prostatın tüm köpeklerde homojen ve hipoekoik yapıya sahip olduğu belirlendi. Longitudinal, vertikal ve transversal çapları sırasıyla, ortalama 5.10 cm, 3.08 cm ve 3.78 cm olarak tespit edilirken, prostatın total hacmi 28.71 $m^ 3$ olarak tespit edildi.

Kars Çoban Köpeklerinde prostatın normal ultrasonografik anatomisi

The purpose of this study is to describe the normal ultrasonographic anatomy of the prostate in Kars Shepherd Dogs and to identify its dimensions. The material of the study comprised ten healthy, intact adult male Kars Shepherd Dogs. The prostate was examined using transabdominal ultrasonography and the findings were evaluated. Statistical assessments of the data were conducted with the simple T test in the Minitab program. During transabdominal ultrasonographic examination, the image of the prostate was determined to be uniformly homogeneous and to have a hypoechoic echotexture compared to the surrounding tissue. Average longitudinal, vertical and transversal dimensions were determined as 5.10 cm, 3.08 cm and 3.78 cm respectively, and the average total volume of the prostate was identified as 28.71 $m^ 3$.
