Summary
This review summarizes spleen size measurement techniques across ultrasound, CT, and MRI. It details methods for estimating spleen dimensions and volume, considering variations due to age, sex, and physiological status.
Area of Science:
- Radiology and Medical Imaging
- Anatomy and Physiology
Background:
- Accurate spleen size assessment is crucial for diagnosing various medical conditions.
- Standardized methods for spleen measurement are needed across different imaging modalities.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review and compare methods for determining spleen size using sonography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
- To analyze physiological variations in spleen size related to sex, age, and physiological states.
- To systematize and evaluate the accuracy of different splenic volume calculation techniques.
Main Methods:
- Systematic review of existing literature on spleen size determination.
- Tabulation of measurement methods across ultrasound, CT, and MRI.
- Comparative analysis of splenic volume calculation accuracy.
Main Results:
- The review consolidates data on linear spleen dimension and volume estimation techniques.
- Physiological factors influencing spleen size are described.
- A comparison of the accuracy of different diagnostic methods for splenic volume calculation is presented.
Conclusions:
- Standardized protocols for spleen size measurement using various imaging modalities are essential.
- Understanding physiological variability is key for accurate interpretation of spleen size.
- This review provides a comprehensive overview to guide clinical practice and research.

Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.

460
Introduction:
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
