8 month coronal image. 
It was measured at 3.4 x 2.3 x 2.0 centimeters for a volume of 8.2 cubic centimeters
19 month coronal image. Dr. VonDoersten measured it at 3.8 x 2.4 x 2.9 centimeters for a volume of 13.2 centimeters, a 63% increase.

 

The doctors measure the tumor in specific places and directions. From the literature and from watching the doctors, this is my understanding of those locations.
