Twenty potential adult liver donors (12 men and 8 women) with a mean age of 39 years (range = 24-64 years) underwent CT with a 64-section multidetector row CT scanner after the intravenous injection of a contrast material. Four image sets with slice thicknesses of 0.625, 2.5, 5, and 10 mm were used. First, a program developed in our laboratory for automated liver extraction was applied to the CT images, and the liver boundaries were determined automatically. Then, an abdominal radiologist reviewed all images onto which automatically extracted boundaries had been superimposed and then edited the boundaries on each slice to enhance the accuracy. The liver volumes were determined via the counting of the voxels within the liver boundaries. The mean whole liver volumes estimated with CT were 1322.5 cm<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup> from 0.625-mm images, 1313.3 cm<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup> from 2.5-mm images, 1310.3 cm<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup> from 5-mm images, and 1268.2 cm<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup> from 10-mm images. The volumes calculated from 3D (0.625-mm) images were significantly larger than the volumes calculated from thicker images (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001). The partial liver volumes of right lobes, left lobes, and lateral segments were evaluated in a similar manner. The estimated maximum difference in the calculated volumes of lateral segments was \u221210.9 cm<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup> (\u22124.63%) between 0.625- and 5-mm images. In conclusion, liver volumes calculated from 2.5-mm-thick or thicker images are significantly smaller than liver volumes calculated from 3D images. If a maximum error of 5% in the calculated graft volume will not have a significant clinical impact, 5-mm-thick images are acceptable for CT volumetry. If the impact is significant, 3D images could be essential.
