A comparison was made between volume measurements of spleen and liver by
ultrasonography and by computed tomography, the two most common modes of
assessment of organ size in patients with Gaucher disease, who require
frequent follow-up measurements. The two measurements showed a high degree
of correlation within a broad range for both spleen and liver volumes. An
algorithm for conversion of one measurement to the other was derived for
both spleen and liver.
