Summary
Cancer drug development requires testing drugs in preclinical trials using animal models. One such popular model requires growing tumors on the back of the animals. These tumors grow in many shapes and the trick is accurately measuring the size. At present the only way to measure tumors in three dimensions (length, width and height) is using Vernier calipers and that's where lot of human error creeps in. The tumor has to be measured in three dimensions and then we calculate the volume using the formula for the volume of an ellipsoid
