Jveer:
Are you sure? Convex hull gives a shape as though you wrapped a
stretchy sheet around your object. So the convex hull of a banana
would be like a thick "D" shape, and the convex hull of a donut/torus
would be like a cylinder. The convex hull of a thick, 3-dimensional
"E" shape would be a rectangular box. This is not the same volume as
the actual volume unless your object is convex.

Do you have a 3D image, or just a list of (x,y,z) vertex coordinates?

Jveer:
No I don't. Someone else probably does though. You can try Google.
I just found this: http://www.niksula.cs.hut.fi/~hkankaan/Homepages/calcvolume.html
If you could somehow convert your vertices and faces to a 3D image
then all you have to do is sum the non-zero coordinates, but poly2mask
only seems to work with 2D polygons.
Good luck. If you find an answer, share it.
