Development and validation of a simplified CT volumetry for estimating total liver volume in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney and liver disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Accurate liver volume measurement is crucial for evaluating liver cyst severity and treatment efficacy in polycystic liver disease (PLD). Previous methods are impractical because they are time-consuming and labor-intensive. This study developed and validated two simplified CT imaging methods: the Bi-axial Simplified Measurement Method (BASiM) and the Quadri-dimensional Simplified Measurement Method (QDSiM).

Methods

This retrospective study analyzed 76 CT images from 26 PLD patients who underwent transarterial hepatic artery embolization (TAE). Images were obtained before TAE, 24 weeks after TAE and during the follow-up period. Liver volumes were measured using semi-automatic volumetry, BASiM, and QDSiM. BASiM calculates liver volume based on cranio-caudal, anterio
