Quantitative radiology: automated CT liver volumetry compared with interactive volumetry and manual volumetry.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate automated CT volumetry in the assessment of living-donor livers for transplant and to compare this technique with software-aided interactive volumetry and manual volumetry. MATERIALS AND METHODS Hepatic CT scans of 18 consecutively registered prospective liver donors were obtained under a liver transplant protocol. Automated liver volumetry ...
متن کاملInteractive Volumetry Of Liver Ablation Zones
Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive technique that destroys cancer cells by heat. The heat results from focusing energy in the radiofrequency spectrum through a needle. Amongst others, this can enable the treatment of patients who are not eligible for an open surgery. However, the possibility of recurrent liver cancer due to incomplete ablation of the tumor makes ...
متن کاملPreoperative Computed Tomography Volumetry and Graft Weight Estimation in Adult Living Donor Liver Transplantation
Background Computed tomography volumetry (CTV) is a useful tool for predicting graft weights (GW) for living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Few studies have examined the correlation between CTV and GW in normal liver parenchyma. Aim To analyze the correlation between CTV and GW in an adult LDLT population and provide a systematic review of the existing mathematical models to calculate pa...
متن کاملManual hippocampal volumetry is a better detector of hippocampal sclerosis than current automated hippocampal volumetric methods.
We read with interest “3T MRI Quantification of Hippocampal Volume and Signal in Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Improves Detection of Hippocampal Sclerosis,” in which Coan et al presented convincing evidence that quantitative assessment of hippocampal volume and T2 improves detection of hippocampal sclerosis vs visual inspection. Although we agree with the principal findings of the study, we dis...
متن کاملFully automated atlas-based MR imaging volumetry in Huntington disease, compared with manual volumetry.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The atrophy of the caudate is considered the hallmark of HD-associated neurodegeneration and has high potential as a biomarker in structural MR imaging. This study aimed at comparing automated and manual caudate volumetry. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this cross-sectional volumetric study in 40 patients with HD and 30 healthy controls, a fully automated caudate measurement ...
