By using their abdominal CT at the baseline and after a year of treatment, treatment responses of the cases were evaluated both by the stereological method via a software and by SVM, retrospectively. The volume estimation was performed in our study using a different approach that consisted of three separate stages combined with the Cavalieri method of modern design stereology.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results: <\/jats:bold> The response rates were \u221217\u00b155% and \u221212\u00b137% by the Cavalieri method and SVM, respectively; however, they were not statistically significant (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>=0.59 and 0.21 for the Cavalieri method and SVM, respectively). Although some cases had comparable results, others had different response rates, and the two methods showed no significant correlation (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>=\u22120.31, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>=0.41).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions: <\/jats:bold> Because this modified method provides accurate results by reducing margin of errors, even in case of bizarre shape of AE, a correct, unbiased, and reliable management of the cases with AE via this method may be possible. Owing to lack of a correlation with SVM, it is suggested that a measurement via SVM may be wrong and its use in the evaluation of the treatment response in such cases will not be sufficient and completely true.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1478-3231.2006.01363.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,10,9]],"date-time":"2006-10-09T16:44:54Z","timestamp":1160412294000},"page":"1234-1240","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Stereological
