Living Donor Right Liver Lobes: Preoperative CT Volumetric Measurement for Calculation of Intraoperative Weight and Volume1

Arne-Jörn Lemke, MD, Martin Julius Brinkmann, MD, Thomas Schott, BS, Stefan Markus Niehues, MD, Utz Settmacher, MD, Peter Neuhaus, MD and Roland Felix, MD

1 From the Departments of Radiology (A.J.L., M.J.B., T.S., S.M.N., R.F.) and General, Visceral, and Transplant Surgery (U.S., P.N.) Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Campus Virchow-Klinikum, Augustenburger Platz 1, D-13353 Berlin, Germany. Received December 6, 2004; revision requested February 4, 2005; revision received June 3; accepted July 1; final version accepted January 6, 2006. Supported by a grant from Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. Address correspondence to A.J.L. (e-mail: lemke{at}charite.de).

  		Figure 2: Box plot shows results of analysis of preoperative volume and intraoperative determination of volume and weight. Each box stretches from the 25th percentile at lower edge to the 75th percentile at upper edge; the median is shown as a line across the box. There are two adjacent values below and above the box: The largest value is below the upper inner limit and the smallest value is above the lower inner limit (1.5 times the box). Outside values ({circ}) below or above the inner limit but within the outer limit (three times the box) are indicated.

  		Figure 3: Box plot shows results of analysis of the value of the ratio of preoperative CT volumetric measurements and corresponding intraoperative weight and volumetric measurements. In each ratio, CT volumetric measurement in milliliters is the numerator, and, on the one hand, intraoperatively measured weight in grams and, on the other hand, intraoperatively measured volume in milliliters is the denominator. Description of each box is the same as in Figure 2.

  		Figure 4: Scatterplot shows results of regression analysis of pre- and intraoperative volumetric determinations. A linear correlation between the two parameters was found (r = 0.834, P < .001).

  		Figure 5: Scatterplot shows results of regression analysis of preoperative volume and intraoperative weight determinations. A linear correlation between the two parameters was found (r = 0.870, P < .001).
