Relation of organ stiffness to size for liver and spleen. (A) Both in HCV⁴⁰ and ALD (black), SL is linearly correlated with SS (R²=0.91). (B) Liver size plotted against LS for both HCV and ALD. The liver size gradually decreases with the progression of LS in HCV (see linear regression line). In contrast, large livers are observed with increasing LS in ALD. Regression graphical analysis and coefficient of determination (R²).

ALD, alcohol-related liver disease; HCV, hepatitis C virus; LS, liver stiffness; SL, spleen length; SS, spleen stiffness.
