Dear Steve,
Thanks for the reply. I sometimes measure the RT hepatic vein just out of interest and find that normal petite patient got large hepatic veins (15mm) but normal IVC (18mm). So I am a bit reluctant to follow these numbers as well. I’ll also look for the subjective signs from now.
Just back to basic: I was taught to measure the liver where the RT kidney in Long is in view with the caliper from supero-posterior to infero-anterior). Some say midclavicular line means measuring the liver in SAG between seeing the RT kidney and the Gallbladder (caliper in horizontal line). How do you measure the liver to keep things consistent and reproducible for follow up?
Best regards,
Linh
