This article discusses ways of measuring accuracy of a laser range finder (LRF) using a specially designed calibration cube (with 3D calibration marks) in the context of a particular application (i.e., measuring volumes). We also compare (by means of experiments) two alternative volume estimation methods.

There is no reliable and safe method for measuring plasma volume in ill newborn infants. We describe an adaptation of the dye dilution technique using indocyanine green as the plasma label, which can be used in the sickest and smallest of infants with the minimum of disturbance. To avoid the need to take large volumes of blood from the infant, samples were diluted 1:1 with distilled water and p...

According to the published data, endemic goiter was until recently, still present in some regions in Croatia. In this study the thyroid volume in grown-up, student population was measured. It was also analyzed which of the several traditional physiological attributes (body weight, body height, and body surface area (BSA)) were best correlated with the thyroid volume. Fifty one randomly selected...

SINCE THE INITIAL observations of William Harvey and the physiologic studies of Ernest Starling, the importance of changes in volume in the ventricles of the heart has been recognized. In physiologic and clinical studies of the heart, measurements of chamber pressure and cardiac output have been more easily obtained than volume, and only in recent years have methods been developed for the estim...
