There are several methods for measuring tumor volume:
Manual Measurement: Using calipers or rulers to measure the length, width, and height of the tumor, then calculating the volume using geometric formulas. This is often used for palpable tumors. Imaging Techniques: Advanced imaging modalities like MRI, CT, and ultrasound provide detailed images of the tumor, allowing for precise volume calculations using specialized software. 3D Reconstruction: Some imaging techniques enable 3D reconstruction of the tumor, providing a more comprehensive view and accurate volume measurement.
