Outline statistics:

Length, l1 = 14.60 ± 0.02 mm
Minimum width, w1 = 0.80 ± 0.02 mm
Maximum width, w2 = 1.90 ± 0.02 mm
Area, A = 22.70 ± 1.10 mm²
Volume = Area * Slice-thickness
= 79.45 ± 3.84 mm³

Note - By the correction of MR Frequency-Spread Effect and the elimination of Pixelization Effect, the barely visible tear was enhanced to become clearly visible for diagnosis and accurate measurements.
