Abstract
To investigate the correlation between the graft volume calculated by 64detectorrow spiral computed tomography CT and the graft weight measured during the living donor liver transplantation LDLT operation and try to get an equation to help determine the possible weight of graft before operation23 donors with left lateral lobe LDLT were enrolled to undergo 64detectorrow spiral CT and the imaging data at the hepatic venous phase was used for whole and partial liver volumetric measurement on a dedicated image postprocessing workstation The resected part of donor liver was weighed during the operation Statistical analysis with SPSS150 was used to analyze the correlation between the estimated liver volume by CT and the actual graft weightThe graft volume calculated preoperatively by CT 29335 ± 5343 ml was significantly larger than measured graft weight during the operation 25282 ± 5096 g P 005 All corresponding pre and intraoperative data correlated significantly R = 0885 P 0001 Intraoperatively expected weight W intraop in grams and volume calculated preoperatively by CT V preop in milliliters can be calculated with the equation W intraop g = 0844 × V preop ml + 5271
