What Are the Challenges in Measuring Tumor Volume?
Measuring tumor volume accurately can be challenging due to several factors:
Irregular Shapes: Tumors often have irregular shapes, making it difficult to apply simple geometric formulas for volume calculation. Variability in Imaging: Different imaging techniques may produce varying results, and the quality of images can be affected by factors such as patient movement and the presence of artifacts. Intra-tumor Heterogeneity: Tumors can have heterogeneous regions with different densities, complicating volume measurement.
