The best single measurement for assessing splenomegaly in patients with cirrhotic liver morphology
Academic Radiology Aug 19, 2017
Nuffer Z, et al. – The aim of this study was to explore the association of multiple unidirectional measurements of the spleen with splenic volume in patients with cirrhotic liver morphology on computed tomography (CT). It was noted that a splenic width threshold of 10.5 cm is the most sensitive (89%) and specific (78%) single measurement for mild–to–moderate splenomegaly in patients with cirrhotic liver morphology, whereas a cranial–caudal height threshold of 14.6 cm is the most sensitive (92%) and specific (91%) single measurement for massive splenomegaly.
