    Polycystic liver disease (PLD) is characterized by the growth of more than 10 hepatic cysts, leading to symptoms that impair quality of life.

  • 2

    Total liver volume (TLV) is crucial for assessing disease severity and monitoring treatment response in PLD patients.

  • 3

    Manual TLV measurement is time-consuming and prone to variability, highlighting the need for faster, more accurate methods.

  • 4

    The study validated a semi-automatic method using Siemens MMWP tool, demonstrating it is faster and reliable for TLV measurement.

  • 5

    Inter- and intra-reader variations were assessed, confirming the reproducibility of both semi-automatic and manual TLV measurement techniques.
