Factors influencing volumetric tumor measurement using 3-D ultrasound (US) were investigated. A 3-D US unit equipped with 4- to 8-MHz curved-array and 5- to 10-MHz linear-array mechanical volume transducers, and a US phantom made of 20 ham pieces (8.6 similar to 10.5 mL) embedded in agar gel that simulated hyperechoic tumors, were used. Volumetric tumor measurement was significantly affected by the position of US focus and tumor depth. When focus was at 2 cm and 8 cm below the transducer, 5-cm-deep tumors were measured 5.6%+/-2.8% (mean+/-SD) and 8.3%+/-2.2% bigger, respectively, than when focus was at 5 cm below the transducer, the same position as tumors (p
