| Popis: | Purpose The aim of the study was to find which linear measurements, field and volume coefficients correlate the best with real volume of the spleen and can be further used for identification of splenomegaly. Methods Abdominal computed tomography (CT) examinations of 264 patients were retrospectively analyzed in terms of maximal length, maximal thickness, hilum thickness, maximal height, vertical height and estimated height. Spleen volume was manually measured in Vitrea software. Two- and three-dimensional coefficients were calculated through proper mathematical formulas from linear measurements. Splenomegaly cut-off: 314.5 cm3. Data were analyzed with use of Pearson correlation and χ2 test with statistical significance at p |
