Abstract

Purpose: The aim of our study was to compare different techniques for the estimation of liver volume using cadaveric sample, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasonography (USG) images, and to measure errors associated with volume estimation techniques based on fluid displacement (the Archimedes' principle). Materials and Methods: Our study was formed of five newborn cadavers aged 39.7±1.5 weeks and weighted 2.220±1.056 g. We used three different methods for calculate the liver volume. Results: Liver volume (LV) measured by the Archimedes' principle was 70.00±49.96 cm3. There was no significant difference between the methods. Conclusion: MR and USG images provide easy, applicable and reproducible estimates in calculating volume of normal and anomalous liver with the Cavalieri’s principle. We think that our study may be a reference for similar studies to be done in the upcoming years.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada yenidoğan kadavralarına ait karaciğerler üzerinde, Ultrasonografi (USG), Manyetik Rezonans Görüntüleme (MRG), Arşimet prensibi ve dilimleme yöntemleri kullanarak, bu yöntemler arasındaki farklılıkların ortaya çıkarılması amaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamız 39.7 ± 1.5 hafta yaşları ve 2.220 ± 1.056 g ağırlıklı beş yenidoğan kadavradan oluşmuştur. Karaciğer hacmini hesaplamak için üç farklı yöntem kullanılmıştır.Bulgular: Arşimed prensibi ile ölçülen karaciğer hacmi (LV) 70.00 ± 49.96 cm3 idi. Metodlar arasında anlamlı fark bulunmadı.Sonuç: MR ve USG görüntüleri, Cavalieri prensibi ile normal ve anormal karaciğer hacminin hesaplanmasında kolay, uygulanabilir ve tekrarlanabilir tahminler sağlar. Çalışmamızın önümüzdeki yıllarda yapılacak benzer çalışmalara referans olabileceğini düşünüyoruz.
