Abstract

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.
