[Computer-tomographic findings in portal hypertension caused by liver cirrhosis. 2. Analysis of results].
The results of a discriminant analysis for the objective diagnosis of cirrhosis of the liver are reported. Eight quantitative parameters seen on CT which, by themselves, are not diagnostic, were studied, and three relationships found to be of discriminatory significance; they are the diameter of the superior mesenteric vein, the ratio of the diameter of the caudate lobe and the right lobe of the liver and a quotient derived from the splenic and hepatic index. Cirrhosis of the liver with portal hypertension could be distinguished with a specificity of 100%, an accuracy of 96% and a sensitivity of 94%.
