Abstract

Aim. Based on the data obtained during the spiral computed tomography (SCT) and autopsy, to determine the volume of the liver of the examined persons, taking into account the type of physique, followed by a comparison of the results. Material and Methods. Computer tomograms of 205 people of both sexes of the youth and the first period of adulthood were analyzed. The examined persons were divided into 3 groups in accordance with the classification of L. Rees - H. J. Eysenck (1945) both during the spiral computed tomography and during the sectional studydepending on body type. For each group, the volume of the liver was determined, followed by a comparison of the results. Results and Discussion. The volume of the liver in conducting SCT was the highest among the examined individuals endomorph body type (1590.8±43.3 cm3), minimum - in persons of ectomorph body type (1164.9±41.7 cm3), the persons of mesomorph body type (1338.7±21.4 cm3) occupied intermediate values. The volume of the liver on autopsy was maximal at dead people endomorph body type (1748.3±22.1 сm3), minimum - in the dead of ectomorph body type (1348.2±31.5 cm3), dead mesomorph body type of the obtained intermediate values (1538.8±31.1 cm3). Differences between the groups were statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusions. During the SCT, significant differences between groups of people with different body types were established, which was confirmed during the sectional study. Taking into account the anthropometric data of the individual will allow to avoid errors in the interpretation of the data obtained during the spiral computed tomography of the liver anatomy.
