Assessment of Pancreas in Diabetic Patients using Ultrasound

Abstract This is experimental study was done in Clinic of ultrasound, Alfao, Algadarif state, Sudan, during the period from June to October 2018, using Sonoscape A6machine with Curvilinear transducer 3.5MHZ to measure the normal spleen dimensions in adult Sudanese, and to correlate these dimensions with the variables of age, gender, height, weight and body mass index, the study was done with the subjects lying in right lateral decubits in deep breath the spleen dimensions were measured by centimeter. A number of 50 subjects age( 20- 70years).male 20 (40%)and female30 (60%) were examined using ultrasound ,the mean values for body characteristic age, height ,weight and BMI are37.80± 14.8,168.2±8.8 ,60.8±11.04 ,21.3±2.6 respectively the study found The mean value of spleen Length ,spleen width, spleen Thickness and Splenic volume were 8.976±1.1cm ,3.9±0.6cm ,3.73±0.7cm,71.38±31.04cm3 respectively, and there was significant correlation between spleen length with height and weight and non-significant correlation with body mass index, and there was non- significant correlation between spleen width and spleen depth with height, weight and BMI, furthermore there were significant correlation between spleen volume and height and non-significant correlation with weight and BMI and there were statistically significant differences between males and females in (length) and nonsignificant differences between male and female in (depth,, width and volume) the means of (length, depth, width and volume) are, (9.565,8.583), (3.8750, 3.6333), (3.9750, 3.6333), (79.805,65.777) for Male and Female respectively , the men had larger spleen than female in relation of spleen to gender, there is non-significant correlation between spleen dimension and age.
