    This study reveals that the posterior left oblique view provides optimal spleen scintigraphy. Simultaneous spleen and liver imaging identified spleen enlargement in many patients, often without clinical signs.

    Area of Science:

    • Nuclear medicine
    • Diagnostic imaging

    Context:

    • Simultaneous scintigraphy of the spleen and liver is valuable for assessing organ dimensions.
    • Established normal spleen dimensions are crucial for accurate interpretation.

    Purpose:

    • To determine the optimal imaging position for spleen scintigraphy.
    • To establish normal spleen dimensions.
    • To evaluate the utility of simultaneous spleen and liver scintigraphy in detecting spleen enlargement.

    Summary:

    • 230 consecutive scintigraphic studies (180 patients, 50 healthy) were analyzed.
    • The posterior left oblique view yielded the best spleen images.
    • Normal spleen dimensions were established as 11.1 mm (long diameter) and 6.9 mm (broad diameter).
    • Spleen enlargement was detected in numerous patients via scintigraphy, independent of clinical findings.

    Impact:

    • Identifies spleen enlargement in patients lacking clinical symptoms.
    • Provides a simple, rapid, and non-invasive method for simultaneous spleen and liver assessment.
    • Enhances diagnostic capabilities in hepatosplenic imaging.
