Scherle, W. A simple method for volumetry of organs in quantitative stereology.
Other groups were interested in comparing [ 11] different methods of volumetry (mammography, the Grossman-Roudner method, anthropometric calculation, the Archimedes principle, and casts) and demonstrated the superiority of imaging, followed by the Archimedes principle.
Furthermore, the method of semi-automatic volumetry has clear advantages compared to voxel based morphometry and manual segmentation.
The method of semi-automatic volumetry can be used to measure volumes of different regions in individual subjects and gives an indication of the actual amount of atrophy that occurs.
Manual slice-by-slice segmentation in contrast enhanced CT scans is a current standard method for tumor volumetry.
