OBJECTIVES: We present a novel method of scanning for intra-abdominal fat volume by helical computed tomography (CT), and describe the clinical significance of measuring the volumes of intra-abdominal ...

The study of respiratory mechanics and control of breathing ideally requires an accurate and noninvasive measurement of lung volume changes (ΔV L) not interfering with patients' spontaneous activity.

There are many specific instances where these parameters are required as quality control indicators and therefore are required to be measured. In the bakery industry, for example, loaf volume is the ...
