Quantitative CT Imaging of Ventral Hernias: Preliminary Validation of an Anatomical Labeling Protocol
Fig 5
Two VH cases in volume rendering and tri-planar views.
Although the two examples have almost the same hernia volume size (a = 125 cm3, b = 109 cm3), (a) is a long, shallow rupture at the umbilicus, while (b) is a short, deep protrusion of the abdominal wall. In addition, the patients’ body sizes are quite different, and the hernia in (b) is further away from the umbilicus.
