The spleen of each patient was then quantitatively measured using chromium-labeled erythrocytes and radioisotope photoscan of the spleen. Castell showed those patients in the control group had a mean spleen size of 75 cm 2 with a range of 57 cm 2 to 75 cm 2 , while those who had a positive percussion sign had a mean spleen size of 93 cm 2 with ...
