[Estimation of liver volume as a function of the individual's morphology].
Computed tomography using transversal scanning, may be usefull in the determination of liver volume. The aim of this study is to evaluate this technique in living subjects and to determine a relationship between liver volume and morphological body surface area and other morphological criteria. In a series of 25 patients, liver volume was computed from the body surface area, using a mathematical function. This method allow a quick and accurate determination of the liver volume which could be used in liver transplantation for a better matching between donor liver and recipient.
