“…Comprehensive US and radionuclide studies has been done to assess liver size, limited by poor resolution, body habitus, respiratory movements, field of view, poor acoustic window and observer dependency [5,[12][13][14][15] Cadaver studies have determined the reliability of sonographic measurement of the liver in the right MCL plane as an indicator of liver size [16,17], but we are not aware of any criteria to define the liver size by linear measurements from CT or MRI. Measuring hepatic volume may be time consuming and software dependent.…”

“…Midclavicular (MCL), craniocaudad (CC), or midhepatic (MHP) CC measurements have been used in ultrasound (US) to estimate liver size [4,5]. These methods have been extrapolated to advanced imaging modalities, including computed tomography (CT) and MRI [6][7][8][9].…”

“…Studies have reported healthy liver volumes to lie between 1300 cc and 1600 cc. [18][19][20][21][22][23] Six participants had liver volumes above this range, two below this range and eight within this range. Review of the radiologist reports revealed three of the participants having visually pathological livers.…”

“…Another possible confounder is the daily variations in liver hydration [87,88]. In humans a daily variation of 20 % has been observed by ultra-sound [88]. More recently, Weis et al observed a 50 % reduction in liver glycogen within one day [89] and as glycogen also binds water, this further illustrates the variable hydration of the liver.…”

“…For instance edema can increase the water concentration significantly [86]. Another possible confounder is the daily variations in liver hydration [87,88]. In humans a daily variation of 20 % has been observed by ultra-sound [88].…”
