Significant difference exists between clinical and ultra-sonographic liver span in the MCL in the subjects.
To measure liver span in normal healthy adults clinically and by using ultrasonography.
The study was conducted on 100 healthy subjects aged 18–65 years. Liver span was calculated by clinical examination followed by USG evaluation.
The mean clinical liver span measured in mid-clavicular line in males was 11.99 cm ± 1.6 cm and in females it was 11.05 cm ± 1.5 cm. Ultra-sonographic mean liver span in males was 14.16 cm ± 1.32 cm while in females it was 12.79 cm ± 1.40 cm.
Significant difference was found between clinical and ultra-sonographic liver span in the MCL in the subjects (p<0.001).
