Comparison of volumetric measurement methods in medicine

Nowadays, digital pathology is an unavoidable element in making a medical diagnosis. This discipline makes it possible to carry out studies that in the past were only inaccurate or not possible at all. An example of such a test is the volumetric measurement, in which the medical professional is able to determine the volume of a piece of tissue. New technologies such as 3D visualization make it possible to perform such medical examinations quickly and accurately. In this paper, we present some of the imaging modalities currently used in medicine to perform volumetric measurement, and we present our own volumetric measurement solution, which we created with a graphics engine, in order to take advantage of polygon-based visualization. At the end of the paper, we present test results for our own volumetric measurement solution.
