Abstract:
This is descriptive study and was conducted in three months during the period from September 2016, To December 2016 in Ibn Alhaitham Diagnostic center and DarAleljspecialized Hospital. This study carried out in a sample of 100 patients (44males and 56 females) who underwent to abdominal computed tomography examination fordifferent reason.
The objective of this study is to evaluate normal liver measurementsin Sudanese using computed tomography and correlated to age and gender. The study was The main results of this study were that the mean and standard deviationof all sample liver texture and measurementsfor mid hepticcraniocaudad, Maximum craniocaudad, maximum transverse and mid hepticantero posterior was found to be54.8 ±1.93 Hounsfield, 14.1±0.50, 15.1±0.54, 18.0 ±0.61, 14.2±0.50 centimeter respectively.
Themain results of this study were that themean andstandard deviation of male liver texture and measurement for mid hepticcraniocaudad, Maximum craniocaudad, maximum transverse and mid hepticantero posterior was found to be 54.8±1.93 Hounsfield, 14.1± 0.54, 15.2 ±0.56, 18.0 ±0.62 and 14.2 ±0.52 centimeter respectively. And female liver texture and measurements for mid hepticcraniocaudad, maximum craniocaudad, maximum transverse dimension ,mid hepticantero posterior was found to be 54.8 ±1.93 Hounsfield , 14.1± 0.51 ,15.2 ±0.54 , 18.1 ±0.60, 14.3 ±0.50 centimeter respectively.
The study concluded were that correlation between livertexture and measurements (mid-hepatic cranio-caudad,maximum cranio-caudad, maximum transverse dimension,mid-hepatic antero-posterior) decreasedwith age and this indicate that size of liver decreased with age.And also the study concludedno difference between males and females subjects at liver textureand measurements.The study recommendedfuture studies should be done use Positron Emission Tomography / Computed TomographyScan.
