Abstract:
Objective To determine the echographic dimensions range of normal liver in chinese school children.Methods The echographic dimensions of normal liver in 972 chinese school-age children were measured by means of random sampling including the maximum oblique dimension right lobe,the transverse dimension of right lobe,the anterior-posterior dimension of right lobe,the thickness and length of left lobe,the thickness and length of right lobe below the costal margin in the midcalvicular line in inspiratory and expiratory phase respectively.The range of normal values was defined according the different age class and sex.Results The nine liver dimensions were all correlated to age,height,weight and bodysurface area.Each echographic dimension showed skew distribution.Conclusion It is necessary to determine the normal dimensions range of liver in chinese school children according to their sex and age.
