Sosna [30] 2003
USA | 11 pts, Mean 59 yrs | EC, PC, and ex vivo PC
Mean volumes 26-31 EC, 37 PC, 34 mL ex vivo,3T MRI,
no ERC | Fresh specimen weighed, SGF applied, Mean 40mL | SV removed | Linear regression
R=0.32-0.75 for EC, 0.65 for PC in vivo, 0.86 for PC ex vivo | | 6 combinations of various axes used for EC, best was sagittal for AP and SI, axial for RL | B2

Lee [20]
2006
Korea | 73 pts, age NS | EC, Mean 38cc
3T or ERC NS | Fresh weight within 1 hr, SGF applied, Mean 37cc | SV removed | Pearson R=0.96
P< 0.001 | Overestimated if < 35cc, underestimated if >35cc | Also tested TRUS, but MRI more accurate | B2

| Jeong [22] 2008 Korea | 21 pts, Mean 66 yrs | EC and PC, Means 41-51 mL,
ERC used,
3T NS | displacement method, Mean 40mL | Fresh specimen within 1 hr, SV removed | Linear regression, R=0.84-92 | Students t-test
P=0.03-0.70 | PC most accurate | B2

| Kwon [31] 2010 Korea | 579, Mean 64 yrs | EC,
Mean 32 mL, 1.5T MRI,
ERC NS | Fresh weight, Mean NS | SV removed | Pearson R=0.69

Bulman [32]
2012
USA | 91 pts, Mean 59 yrs | mpMRI EC, PC (manual and MFA).
ERC, 3T, Mean 41-45 mL | Freshly weighed, Mean 50 mL | Average weight of SVs subtracted | Wilcoxon signed rank test and linear regression 0.78-0.90 | Bland-Altman plots, 92-97% within limits of agreement. All of the MRI methods underestimated the volume by around 15% | Multiple readers used, MFA similar in accuracy to manual planimetry, both more accurate than EC | B2

3T, ERC | Fresh specimen weight, Mean 52 cc | Included SVs | Pearson r=0.86-0.91
P<0.0001 | Partial and full Dice similarity coefficient 0.85-0.92 | Autosegmentation faster than manual PC | B2

Chernyak [37], 2015,
USA | 49 pts, Mean 59 yrs | EC, either 1.5T or 3T
With and without ERC, Means 46 and 51 cc | Weight retrospectively collected from report, Mean 55 gm | Included SV | ICC improved with ERC 0.90-0.96, mainly due to AP measurement | MRI underestimated weight, more so with ERC (9 vs 4 gm) | | B1

USA | 195 pts, Median 62 yrs | EC and PC, Median 42 cc for both,
3T MRI, ERC | Fresh weight from pathology report, Median 52 cc | Standard SV weight subtracted, applied SGF | Lin CCC used to assess correlation and concordance | Lin CCC = 0.85 (EC) and 0.87 (PC), both underestimated by approx. 10mL | | B2
