Reference imaging performed at the beginning of treatment, or for example immediately after surgery for the primary tumor; (2) the same technique or combination of techniques used in the baseline study should also be used in the subsequent phases of evaluation between treatment rounds and restaging until the end of treatment.

Alternatively, the calculation can be based on measurement of the lesion perimeter. However, these are at least in part abstractions, since the measurements can be influenced by a number of factors, including the irregular shape of the lesion or ill-defined and infiltrating margins. Volumetric measurements performed in 3D are more accurate than those in 2D, with less interobserver variability and a greater repeatability. The measurements obtained are less dependent on the dimensions, morphology and echostructure of the lesion [114,121].
