Morphometric parameters and topography of the human prostate gland of the first mature period according to magnetic resonance imaging

Magnetic resonance tomograms of the pelvic organs of patients aged 21 to 35 years (n = 40) without complaints from the urinary system and without volumetric processes in the pelvic cavity were studied and interpreted to determine the in vivo topographic and anatomical characteristics of the prostate gland and comparison of the obtained data with the existing ones. The following parameters were evaluated: the linear dimensions of the prostate gland (sagittal, frontal, vertical), the volume of the prostate gland, the distance from the gland to the pubic symphysis, to the plane of the entrance to the pelvis, the distance to the sacrum, to the pelvic ring right and left, the length and the square of the contact surface of the prostatic gland to urine bladder, to the rectum and to the seminal vesicles, the distance from the anus to the lowest point of the gland's contacts to the rectum. For all measurements, the mean, the error of the mean, the minimum, the maximum values, and the standard deviation of the observation were calculated...
