The qualitative result of 1D measurement volume assessments and automated pipeline assessment. Measurement of the L,D, and T is done by trained technologists and evaluated by radiologist afterward (re-measured if assessment were ‘very degraded’ or ‘slightly degraded’. The quality of 1D measurement methods largely depends on the spleen volume shape since the spleen Depth and Thickness is determined in the slice which has longest connecting line from one point of the spleen to the other point of the spleen. Although 1D measurement figures look reasonable, the slice that is considered can be wrong and arise large difference of volume measurement. Automated pipeline method also has some bad cases that does not represent spleen correctly, but the pipeline method has lower volume error overall since it counts actual number of voxels for measuring volume.
