[Splenogammography with Anger's camera]

Through 230 consecutive studies, 180 from patients and 50 from healthy persons, we obtain simultaneous figures of the spleen and the liver. The best position to obtain better scintigraphies of the spleen was the posterior left oblique. The normal dimensions of the spleen image was 11.1 mm. +/- 1.2 mm. (1 sigma) long diameter, and 6.9 mm. +/- 1.1 mm (1 sigma) broad diameter. In a great number of patients we found an enlargement of the spleen in the scintigraphic image without clinical demonstration. The study is easy, rapid and without troubles for patients; moreover it afford an important knowledge in the study of the spleen and the liver in simultaneous form.
