Abstract

Purpose: The aim of our study was to compare different techniques for the estimation of liver volume using cadaveric sample, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasonography (USG) images, and to measure errors associated with volume estimation techniques based on fluid displacement (the Archimedes' principle).
