A determination of normal adult renal size in roentgenographic examinations has been performed with data presented to aid in evaluating this parameter in routine examinations.
The limits of confidence are prescribed in terms of absolute correlation to lumbar segments and as proportionalities.
Ninety-seven per cent of normal adult kidneys are found within the range defined by the distance L1 through L3 and the distance of L1 through L4.
Factors of age and sex do not significantly affect these determinations, in the absence of intruding pathology.
