Accurate prostate volume estimation is useful for calculating prostate-specific antigen density and in evaluating post-treatment response. In the clinic, prostate volume estimation involves modeling the prostate as an ellipsoid or a spheroid from transrectal ultrasound, or T2 weighted MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging).
