METHOD OF ESTIMATING CORRESPONDENCE OF SPLEEN DIMENSIONS TO NORM OR DEVIATION FROM IT IN CHILDREN BY METHOD OF ULTRASONIC DIAGNOSTICS Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A61B8/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to field of medical diagnostics, in particular, ultrasonic, and can be used to estimate correspondence of spleen dimensions to the norm or its deviation in children. Ultrasonic examination of spleen with application of convex sensor 3-6 MHz is carried out. Length and thickness of spleen are measured. The organ weight is calculated by formula m=0.34l²h, where l is spleen length, h is spleen thickness. Coefficient of spleen weight is determined by formula: $$Km=\frac{{\mathrm{0,341}}^{2}h}{Mt}\times \mathrm{1000,}$$ where Mt is child's body weight in grams. Obtained coefficient Km is used to compare correspondence of spleen dimensions to the norm or deviation from it.

EFFECT: method makes it possible to estimate interrelation of linear dimensions of spleen and child's body weight, which makes it possible to determine functional state of organ.
