Abstract
Thank you very much for giving me the chance to present my point of view about the method of calculating liver size: Size of the liver is a significant indicator for recognition of illness in liver. Size of liver is also very important in planning surgery and treatments of liver. The liver has multiple functions, and many illnesses are caused by hepatomegaly. There are many methods to determine liver size; area. Liver volume is a better measure to represents the entire liver, rather than linear measurements in x, y plan. MRI and CT are both valid in the determination of liver volume; however, they are expensive to perform. CT scan has also x-ray which causes risk of cancer [1].
