Estimate of liver volume on CT or MRI - calculator
This formula can be used to estimate volume of the liver on crossectional imaging methods by measuring its maximum dimension in three perpendicular axes - caudocranial (CC), latero-lateral (LL), antero-posterior (AP). A normal value is considered <2000mL.
Volume = CC x LL x AP x 0.31
| Parameter | Value | |
|---|---|---|
| Max. cranio-caudal dimension (CC)* | cm | |
| Max. latero-lateral dimension (LL)* | cm | |
| Max. antero-posterior dimension (AP)* | cm | |
