The objective of this study was to determine its accuracy and precision, and compare it with a standard volumeter used in lymphedema clinics worldwide. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Patients and Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p> Using a standard model hospital volumeter and our own device, we took three consecutive measurements of 11 specially cast cylinders, which had known volumes ranging from 10mL to 4 L, and measurements of both arms of 15 volunteers. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p> Measurements with both volumeters were highly accurate (R<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> = 0.9999) when compared with the known volumes of the cast cylinders, and were strongly correlated (R<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> = 0.9974) when each arm volume was compared between volumeters. Measurements with our volumeter were more precise both with the cylinders (average standard deviation [SD], 3.2 v 8 mL; P = .0553) and with the arms (average SD, 11.1 v 19 mL; P = .0034). Whereas the standard volumeter is expensive, fragile (acrylic), and prone to leaks, our volumeter is inexpensive, virtually indestructible, leak proof, and suitable for home use. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p> Arm volumes can be measured quickly and accurately at home using a simple, inexpensive, and robust device based on water displacement. Readily accessible arm volumetry at home may have widespread influence on the management of lymphedema after breast cancer. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1200\/jco.2006.07.9376","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,11,30]],"date-time":"2006-11-30T01:03:34Z","timestamp":1164848614000},"page":"5434-5440","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["A Simple and Innovative Device to Measure Arm Volume at Home for Patients With Lymphedema After Breast Cancer"],"prefix":"10.1200","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Jean","family":"Lette","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Nuclear Medicine, Maisonneuve Hospital, Montr\u00e9al, Qu\u00e9bec, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"233","reference":[{"key":"R1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1097-0142(19981215)83:12B+<2776::AID-CNCR25>3.0.CO;2-V"},{"key":"R2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1200\/JCO.2005.03.6749"},{"key":"R3","unstructured":"Harris SR, Hugi MR, Olivotto IA, et al: Clinical practice guidelines for the care and treatment of breast cancer: 11.
