Apparatus and Method for Measuring the Dimensions of the Palpable Surface of the Prostate |
摘要 |
A method and system for measuring the size of the palpable surface of the prostate in the physician's office. In one embodiment a membrane with a grid pattern is located proximate the prostate. A physician moves a measurement system, formed at the end of the index finger and located in a glove, between opposite margins of the prostate. The measurement system counts the grid elements between the margins that translate into a quantitative measurement of size of the palpable surface of the prostate. In another embodiment an accelerometer attaches to the end of the index finger to produce signals along multiple axes that a processing system converts into a measurement of the size.
