In the following model, platelet increment after partial splenic arterial embozation (PSE) is estimated based on the following variables. Please enter data in the corresponding boxes. All volume data should be measured using a helical CT volume data.

 

What is liver volume before PSE?	(ml)
What is spleen volume before PSE?	(ml)
What is platlet count before PSE?	(x104/µl)
How much do you plan to embolize the spleen?	(%)
