The purpose of the paper is to present a software system for the handling and management of urologic ultrasound images. In particular, the system was used to detect men's prostate in ultrasound images and than to obtain a 3D model for the detected object and to calculate its volume. The software system can be used in hospitals which do not have either CAT scanners or NMR/MRI equipment (the majority of Romanian hospitals). It provides these hospitals with a tool enabling a more accurate diagnosis, which in turn improves the efficiency of the hospital, saves money, and has a profound psychological benefit on the well-being of the patient.
