Liver size determination in pediatrics using sonographic and scintigraphic techniques

LE Holder, J Strife, TN Padikal, PJ Perkins and JG Kereiakes

Knowledge of the normal liver size is essential for making the scintigraphic estimate of hepatomegaly. A nomogram for sonographic liver size versus height of the patient was developed for the normal pediatric patient. Liver size was measured as the longitudinal liver length in the plane midway between the xiphoid and the right lateral liver margin. Scintigraphic and sonographic measurements showed a good correlation. The scintigraphic nomogram was developed using the experimentally determined relationship between the two modalities.
