Abstract: This study discussed the application value of MSCT in evaluating liver volume and spleen volume in the diagnosis of liver cirrhosis and liver reserve function. In this study, a case-control study was conducted. A total of 120 patients with liver cirrhosis (case group) and 120 volunteers with matched age, gender and no liver disease (control group) were selected. The volumes of the whole liver, liver lobe and spleen of the two groups were detected by MSCT. The total liver volume, right half liver volume, left internal lobe volume, and total liver/spleen volume ratio in the case group were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The spleen volume and left lateral lobe volume in the case group were higher than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05 ). The AUC values under ROC curve of liver/spleen volume and liver volume were 0.902 and 0.837, respectively. MSCT examination of liver volume and spleen volume has high clinical reference value for judging liver cirrhosis and liver reserve function.

Key words: multi-slice spiral CT, liver volume, spleen volume, liver cirrhosis, liver reserve function, CT ratio of liver/spleen
