Multivolumetric analysis of CT scans on patients with glioma.
Brain tumor volumes in patients having multimodal therapy for cerebral gliomas were calculated using graphic methods and Simpsonian integration. Volume assessment calculations differed from the clinical assessment of the patient significantly in some cases. These calculations may be useful in on-going tumor therapy and should be used as a true scientific end point in brain tumor treatment protocols.
