Ultrasound is commonly the first-line imaging modality for assessing the pediatric abdomen. An abnormal size of the liver, spleen, or kidneys may indicate disease, but the evaluation is challenging because the normal size changes with age. In addition, published normal value charts for children may vary by population and methods. In this systematic review, we summarized published data on the normal size of the pediatric liver, spleen, and kidneys as measured by ultrasound in which we found similar values across different populations, ages, and sexes.
超声通常是评估儿科腹部的首选影像学方法。肝脏、脾脏或肾脏大小异常可能表明存在疾病,但评估具有挑战性,因为正常大小会随年龄变化。此外,发表的儿童正常数值图表可能因人群和方法而异。在这项系统评价中,我们总结了已发表的关于儿科肝脏、脾脏和肾脏超声测量的正常大小数据,我们发现不同人群、年龄和性别之间的数值相似。
