Diametric Rule Technique to Measure Liver Size

摘要

We compare a new simple method to reliably estimate liver size, using a dermatologista€?s diametric rule, to conventional nuclear scintigraphic measurements. The diametric rule was positioned on the anterior view of 50 liver scans. All edges of the liver within a concentric circle of the rule were included. The diameters were recorded and correlated with the results obtained by more widely known techniques.
