✦ Synopsis

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlations between the sonographic measurement of splenic length and the actual splenic length, volume, and weight.

Methods. Before autopsy, sonographic measurements of splenic length were obtained in 30 cadavers, and these values were compared with the actual length, volume, and weight of the spleen at autopsy.

Results. There were clear linear correlations between maximum sonographic length and actual length (r = 0.831), volume (r = 0.817), and weight (r = 0.810).

Conclusion. This study shows that a single, simple sonographic measurement gives a clinically useful indication of true splenic size.
