The evaluation of spleen length from routine x-ray films of the left epigastrium of 97 healthy patients suggested a close correlation to the height of the 12th thoracic and the first three lumbar vertebral bodies. The normal ratio of spleen length to the vertebral height Th 12- L 3 is 0,82 +/- 0,09, two standard deviations are represented by ratios from 0,64 to 1,0. Spleen length over vertebral height Th 12 -L 3 indicates pathologic enlargment of the spleen. 54 patients with diseases which may cause splenomegaly showed spleen lengths mostly over the heights Th 12 - L 3.
对97名健康受试者上腹部常规X光片脾脏长度的评估表明，脾脏长度与第12胸椎和前三腰椎椎体高度密切相关。正常情况下，脾脏长度与第12胸椎至第3腰椎椎体高度的比值为0.82±0.09，两个标准差范围为0.64至1.0。脾脏长度超过第12胸椎至第3腰椎椎体高度提示脾脏病理性肿大。54名可能导致脾肿大的疾病患者脾脏长度大多超过第12胸椎至第3腰椎椎体高度。
