Objective To measure the liver volume with 64slices helical CT between hepatic cirrhosis patients and normal control group, and evalute the relationship between the change of liver volme and Child-pugh degree in the hepatic cirrhosis patients. Methods A total of 47 hepatic cirrhosis cases which diagnosedby clinic,19 cases were Child A, 20 cases were Child B, 8 cases were Child C, and 200 case were enrolled into the control group. Use the CT measurement software to measure the liver volume. Results The whole liver volume measurement in males and females in control group were (1259.91±303.35)cm3 and (1146.29±291.59)cm3 respectively; Standard liver volume were (687.09±138.90)cm3 and (653.14±153.65)cm3 respectively. The LV in Child B and C of hepatic cirrhosis patients were lower than that of control group, however in the liver volume of Child A were larger than the other groups. Conclusion The 64 slice helical CT can measure the hepatic volume. The changes of the liver volume were strongly correlated with the severity of hepatic cirrhosis, which is helpful for the objective evaluation of liver reserve function.
