Volumetriskt

Volumetriskt is an adjective used to describe something related to volume or the measurement of volume. In scientific and technical language it often denotes approaches, methods, or data that involve quantifying the amount of space a substance or object occupies.

In mathematics and physics, volumetric concepts concern three-dimensional space and the amount of space enclosed by a boundary. In chemistry, volumetric analysis is a class of analytical methods where the quantity of an analyte is determined by measuring the volume of a solution of known concentration required for a reaction (for example, titration with a burette). Typical equipment includes volumetric flasks, burettes, and pipettes, with the end point indicated by an indicator or instrument.

In medical imaging and radiotherapy, volumetric data describe the size of anatomical structures or lesions. Volumetric imaging uses data sets that encode volume information from modalities such as CT or MRI. In radiotherapy, volumetric techniques aim to shape dose distributions to correspond to the target volume.

In computer science and graphics, volumetric rendering and voxel-based representations express information in three-dimensional volumes, enabling realistic visualization of phenomena such as clouds, smoke, or biological structures.

In everyday use within Swedish, volumetriskt or volumetrisk describes properties or methods based on volume, such as volumetric measurements in chemistry or imaging. The term is distinct from density, which relates to mass per unit volume.
