Quantitative method to determine the liver size.

Subjective evaluation of the size of the organ in roentgenograms is unsatisfactory, which is seen when subjective records are compared with the liver volume calculated by quantitative roentgenologic method.

Humans

Long-term prognosis of idiopathic gastric erosions.

The long-term prognosis of multiple gastric erosions (erosive gastritis) is analyzed in 58 cases observed over 10-17 years, showing the disease to recur through decades. Idiopathic erosions occur mainly in the antrum and can be visualized roentgenologically, whereas "stress" erosions are in the body of the stomach and may only be diagnosed endoscopically.

Adolescent

Gastric erosions, a disease with a tendency to recur through decades, may in advanced age and anacidity give rise to polyps. These histologically benign polyps may be recognized by clinical methods of examination.
