Abstract

Abstract

Accurate measurement of spleen volume plays an important role in evaluating related diseases and prognosis. At present, there are various methods for measuring or estimating spleen volume. This article reviews the advances in several methods for measuring spleen volume, including the 5-rib unit estimating method, physical examination, ultrasound, multi-slice spiral CT, magnetic resonance imaging, and ex vivo water drainage, among which multi-slice spiral CT is recognized in clinical practice and has an accuracy of 95%. It is pointed out that on the basis of accurate measurement of spleen volume by multi-slice spiral CT, rapid and simple assessment of spleen volume will be the direction for future development.
