“…Also, there was no found significant difference between sexes (Babu Naik et al, 2017). Brazilian females and males' same values were 11.9 cm and 11.4 cm, respectively (Silva et al, 2010). The same value was in Malaysian male and female subjects aged between 52.6 years, 12.20 cm and 11.7 cm, respectively (Khammas & Mahmud, 2020) and in Indian healthy subjects, 14.07 cm (Balasubramanian et al, 2016).…”

This paper's aim is a morphometric evaluation of liver and portal vein morphometry using ultrasonography in healthy Turkish population. This study was carried out with 189 subjects (107 females, 82 males). The demographic data and the body surface area were calculated. The longitudinal axis of the liver for two lobes, diagonal axis or liver span, anteroposterior diameter of the liver and portal vein, portal vein transverse diameter, caudate lobe anteroposterior diameter, and portal vein internal diameters as well as longitudinal liver scans in an aortic plane, sagittal plane, transverse plane, and kidney axis were measured. All measurements were analyzed according to age, sex, body mass index, obesity and alcohol consumption. The mean values of the age, height, weight and body mass index were calculated as 44.39 years, 167.05 cm, 74.23 kg, and 27.06kg/m 2 in females, respectively. The same values were 44.13 years, 167.70 cm, 75.93 kg and 26.71 kg/m 2 in males, respectively. There was significant difference between demographic characteristics, gender, and alcohol consumption in terms of anteroposterior diameter of the liver, portal vein transverse diameter of the right side and liver transverse scan. Also, some measurements including portal vein transverse diameter, liver transverse scan and at kidney axis longitudinal scan of liver showed significant difference between the age groups. There was significant difference in diagonal axis and anteroposterior diameter of liver, portal vein internal diameter, and longitudinal liver scans of the aortic plane parameters between obesity situation. The findings obtained will provide important and useful reference values as it may determine some abnormalities related liver diseases. Also, age, sex, obesity and body mass index values can be effective in the liver and portal vein morphometry related parameters.

“…In 2010 Silva R.M. et al [2] showed that liver measurements obtained by clinical examination correlates well with ultrasound method, but underestimated the actual liver size in adults, which can be demonstrated by the statistically significant difference between the final mean value obtained by clinical observation and that obtained by ultrasound method. A 2013 study of Mouratev et al [3] demonstrated that medical students with less than two hours training http://dx.doi.org/10.35630/2199-885X/2020/10/3.11 could obtain liver size measurements using ultrasound that were more accurate and had less variability than physicians with 10 to 20 years of clinical experience) using physical examination, including palpation, percussion and auscultation scratch techniques.…”

The aim of this study was to distinguish differences in linear liver measurements between men and women. Statistically significant gender differences were found in the following liver diameters: anteroposterior diameter of the left lobe, thickness of the caudate lobe, anteroposterior and oblique maximum craniocaudal diameters of the right lobe. In men all these diameters are larger than in women. K E y w o r d s-magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound imaging, linear measurements of the liver, men and women, gender differences.
