60-year-old woman with cirrhosis and portal hypertension, who underwent contrast-enhanced CT as pre-liver transplant evaluation

Caption

Patient weight was 74.4 kg. Automated deep-learning artificial intelligence tool was used to segment spleen and thereby compute splenic volume. Axial image shows spleen segmentation (orange overlay). Automated splenic volume was 1,097 ml, above weight-based splenic volume threshold for determining splenomegaly of 350 ml. True-craniocaudal splenic length was 15.5 cm, and maximum-3D splenic length 18.7 cm. These length measurements would indicate presence of splenomegaly at all thresholds used.
