Abstract
Morphology of liver in 50 cadavers shows Mean maximum transverse diameter was 19.94 ± 2.45 cm, maximum vertical diameter was 14.95 ± 1.87 cm, and volume of liver 1140.15 ± 244.68 ml. mean transverse diameter was 19.67 ± 2.19 cm, mean vertical diameter was 14.37 ± 2.0 cm and volume of the liver 122 7.40±127.28 ml, mean weight of the liver was l .59 ± 0.25kg. In this study, mean transverse diameter was 19 .67 ± 2.19 cm, mean vertical diameter was 14 .3 7 ± 2.0 cm and mean antero posterior was8.70 ± 1.16 cm and volume of the liver 12 27.40 ± 127.2 8 ml. Mean weight of the liver was l .59 ± 0.2 5 kg. Ultrasonic measurement of portal vein diameter in correlation with parameters like age, sex and height of the individual and stated that in males the PVD does not vary with the age, but height had correlation with PVD. In females there is no correlation between them. Correlation study between maximum diameter of the portal vein with various physical parameters like age, sex, height, weight and BSA (body surface area) of subjects. Mean diameter of the portal vein was 1.2 with the standard deviation of 0.2. In current study mean diameter of the portal vein was 0.9.
