Imaging of spleen made easy: A practical approach to focal and diffuse splenic disease
Sanjay Gandhi
North Bristol NHS Trust, United Kingdom
The focus of the talk would be to develop a greater understanding of benign and malignant splenic pathologies and increase
confidence in dealing with lesions encountered in everyday practice. This presentation will be on a practical approach to
focal and diffuse splenic pathologies, normal imaging appearances and clinically important variants, congenital anomalies such
as cardiosplenic syndromes. Imaging features of common and some rare lesions including benign and malignant neoplasms
such as hemangioma, hamartoma, lymphoma and infections and infarction will be discussed. Different imaging modalities
including ultrasound, CT, MRI, nuclear medicine (Technetium sulfur colloid) and PET will be included along with the relative
merits and limitations of each technique. A practical approach to splenic calcification, and solitary and multiple focal cystic
and solid lesions will be discussed.
