More about this calculator:

$Liver Volume based on CT/MRI measurements = 0.31 \times L$ $\times$ $W$ $\times H$

$Liver Volume based on US measurements using formula by Childs et al. ² = 343.71 + (0.84$ $\times$ $LAP$ $\times RAP$ $\times RDT$ $)$

Expected volume (Vauthery et al.³)= 1267.28 * BSA -794.41

LAP = Left lobe anterio-posterior length

RAP= Right lobe anterio-posterior length RDT = Right lobe dome to tip length

BSA = Body surface area = sqrt (weight*height/3600)
