1. What is a Bladder Volume Calculator?
Definition: This calculator determines the bladder volume using three dimensions and a shape-specific coefficient.
Purpose: Useful for medical assessments of bladder capacity.
2. How Does the Calculator Work?
The calculation is based on the following formula:
\[ \text{Bladder Volume (cm³)} = \text{Dimension 1 (cm)} \times \text{Dimension 2 (cm)} \times \text{Dimension 3 (cm)} \times \text{Coefficient} \]
Unit Conversions:
- Input (Length):
- mm → cm: ×0.1
- cm → cm: ×1
- m → cm: ×100
- inch → cm: ×2.54
- ft → cm: ×30.48
- yd → cm: ×91.44
- Output (Volume):
- cm³ → mm³: ×1000
- cm³ → dm³: ×0.001
- cm³ → cu in: ×0.0610237
- cm³ → ml: ×1
- cm³ → cl: ×0.1
- cm³ → l: ×0.001
Coefficient Options:
- Ellipsoid: 0.81
- Cuboid: 0.89
- Triangular Prism: 0.66
- Prolate Ellipsoid: 0.52
- I don't know: 0.77
- Custom: User-defined (0 to 1)
Explanation: Inputs are converted to cm, calculated in cm³, and results are converted to requested units with an estimated error of ±12.7%.
3. Importance of Bladder Volume Calculation
Details: Accurate bladder volume assessment is crucial for diagnosing urinary issues and monitoring bladder health.
4. Using the Calculator
Tips: Select a bladder shape or custom coefficient, then enter Dimension 1, Dimension 2, and Dimension 3 in mm, cm, m, inch, ft, or yd (all >0). Results show bladder volume in mm³, cm³, dm³, cu in, ml, cl, and l.
