The liver can be measured by the *Basic evaluation: ''maximum Maximum dimension'' on a sagittal plane view through the midclavicular line, which is normally up to 18 cm in adults.<ref name=efsumb2010/> It is *More comprehensive, also possible to measure the including::*''cranioCranio-caudal dimension'', which is normally up to 15 cm in adults.<ref name=efsumb2010/> This can be measured together with the :*''ventroVentro-dorsal dimension'' (or ''depth''), which is normally up to 13 cm.<ref name=efsumb2010/> Also, the :*''Relative size of caudate lobe is enlarged in many diseases. '': In the axial plane, the caudate lobe should normally have a cross-section of less than 0.55 of the rest of the liver.<ref name=efsumb2010/>
