Abstract
To establish the normal range of the splenic dimensions in North Indian adult population, we used ultrasonc graphy to examine 160 subjects (80 males &; 80 females) not known to have any condition likely to be associated with splenic enlargement. Splenic length was measured on longitudinal coronal image from dome to tip through the hilum. On tranverse coronal plane, measurement of the width of the spleen was made at the hilum, followed by thickness measurement taken in the longitudinal coronal plane at a point bisecting the line indicating length The results show that the splenic length, width &; thickness decreased with increase in age in both male and female. All the dimensions were greater in male than in female.
