measurement of ovary's three-dimensional space in cubic centimeters

Ovarian Volume, also known as Ovarian Size, refers to the measurement of the three-dimensional space occupied by an ovary, typically expressed in cubic centimeters (cm³). This metric is important in assessing ovarian health and function, and can be used to diagnose conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or ovarian tumors. It is usually determined through imaging techniques like ultrasound.
