Abstract
Real-time sonography affords a simple and reliable definition of the portal veins. A standard chart of normal portal vein measurements is presented. The mean diameter of the portal vein in 107 patients aged 21-40 yr was 11 .+-. 2 mm. This information can be useful in evaluating portal hypertension in a variety of clinical situations.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
