Abstract

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 cm3.
