A simple method to approximate liver size on cross-sectional images using living liver models
D Muggli, MA Müller, C Karlo, J Fornaro, B Marincek… - Clinical radiology, 2009 - Elsevier
AIM: To assess whether a simple. diameter-based formula applicable to cross-sectional
images can be used to calculate the total liver volume. MATERIALS AND METHODS: On
119 cross-sectional examinations (62 computed tomography and 57 magnetic resonance
imaging) a simple, formula-based method to approximate the liver volume was evaluated.
The total liver volume was approximated measuring the largest craniocaudal (cc),
ventrodorsal (vd), and coronal (cor) diameters by two readers and implementing the …
