Hypertrophy of the FLR after PVE as determined by three-dimensional reconstruction of CT images. (A) Three-dimensional volumetric measurements are determined by outlining the hepatic segmental contours and then calculating the volumes from the surface measurements of each slice. (B) The formula for calculating total liver volume is based on the patient’s body surface area. (C) Before embolization, the volume of segments 2 and 3 was 283 cm³, or 14% of the total liver volume (2, 036 cm³). After embolization, the volume of segments 2 and 4 was 440 cm³, or 21% of the total liver volume (a degree of hypertrophy of 7%). B was modified from Vauthey et al.³⁹ and C was modified from Vauthey et al.¹⁰ with permission.
