Ma et al reported an equation for estimating the standard liver volume for a Chinese adult. The authors are from the State Key Laboratory for Liver Research and the University of Hong Kong.
Analysis: CT scan with cross section at T12
Parameters:
(1) thickness/depth in mm (shortest length between the linea alba and the tip of the T12 spinous process)
(2) weight in kilograms
total liver volume in mL =
= (2 * (thickness)) + (10 * (weight)) + 190
