Sonographic Assessment of the Normal Limits and Percentile Curves of Liver, Spleen, and Kidney Dimensions in Healthy School-Aged Children

Abstract

The normal limits of the liver, spleen, and kidneys are important parameters during a sonographic examination. This study revealed that organ dimensions showed the best correlation with body weight. To our knowledge, in clinical practice there are no pediatric organ dimension percentile graphs for interpretation of sonographic examinations. We hope this study contributes to daily practice in radiology clinics.
