摘要
Reference values for splenic volume used in this study are based on necropsy measurements made in 1970. Because the volumes (measured by radionuclide tomography) seemed to be consistently greater than the necropsy values, the splenic volume in 35 healthy male volunteers ranging in age from 18-30 years (median age, 21 years) was studied. Their mean (SD) splenic volume was 281 (73) ml compared with 138 (34) ml in the reference group. The mean splenic volume in healthy volunteers seems to be significantly greater than in cadavers, and these results suggest that reference range for splenic volume in vivo should be revised.
