title: The clinical measurement of volumes using helical CT.
abstract: The object of this preliminary study is to evaluate the new techniques of measurement by helical CT which allow direct assessment of the volume of a lesion in clinical practice particularly by obtaining direct macroscopic anatomical correlation. Its primary application is anatomical, with measurement of the volumes of organs or anatomical structures, the clinical importance of which relates primarily to oncology. We present our initial results, including their applications and limits, before extending this study to a larger series so that it may be compared with other multicentre evaluations.
