Abstract
|
|
|
|
Estimation of liver size is essential in the diagnosis of liver disease. We carried out the present study to determine the normal upper limit of relative liver size by means of hepato-abdominal ratio. We measured liver size using 4 linear diameters of the liver and, as the reference, the abdominal transverse diameter (the distance from the right margin of the liver to the left margin of the spleen) was measured. Hepato-abdominal ratio was calculated by dividing the diameters of liver with the abdominal transverse diameter. The hepato-abdominal ratio using the mdline vertical diameter is 0.43±0.06 in the normal group and 0.53±0.07 in the hepatomegaly group. It seems warranted to suggest hepatomegaly when hepato-abdominal ratio using the midline vertical diameter is 0.5 or more in the interpretation of hepatic seintigram.
