Description

The dimensions of the fibrous plaque in Peyronie's disease can be determined by ultrasound or imaging studies. From these dimensions the volume can be calculated.


Patient selection: Peyronie's disease

 

Parameters:

(1) length in mm

(2) width in mm

(3) thickness in mm

 

volume in cubic mm =

= 0.524 * (length) * (width) * (thickness)

 

where:

• 0.524 (a rounded 0.523598) is from 4 / 3 * PI() / 8

• The 8 is cumulative product of halving the diameters to give the radii.
