Ultrasonographic measurements comparing sacculation size between parts of the large colon and cecum

Section n Width of sacculations in cm, Sx¯
Right PLF 12 6.11, Sx¯ = 0.40
Right ventral 48 7.65, Sx¯ = 0.28
Right dorsal 54 8.14, Sx¯ = 0.30
Left ventral 54 7.72, Sx¯ = 0.31
Left dorsal 53 7.97, Sx¯= 0.37

Sacculation size is expressed as mean and standard error of the mean (Sx¯). Measurements in the area of the cecum; Right paralumbar fossa (PLF) include the dorsal and ventral measurements. Measurements in the right ventral and right dorsal abdomen included rib spaces 17 through 10. Measurements on the left side also include the left paralumbar fossa.
