    Summary

    Computed tomography (CT) effectively detects accessory spleens, especially those 10 mm or larger in the upper left quadrant. This imaging technique shows high sensitivity for identifying these splenic anomalies.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Abdominal Imaging

    Background:

    • Accessory spleens are congenital anomalies that can mimic other pathologies.
    • Accurate detection of accessory spleens is crucial for surgical planning and diagnosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the sensitivity of computed tomography (CT) in detecting accessory spleens.
    • To determine the size and location criteria for CT-based detection of accessory spleens.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of histopathologically confirmed cases of accessory spleens.
    • Review of computed tomography scans performed on these patients.

    Main Results:

    • Computed tomography demonstrated high sensitivity for detecting accessory spleens.
    • Detection was most reliable for accessory spleens measuring 10 mm or larger.
    • Accessory spleens located in the left upper quadrant were more readily identified.

    Conclusions:

    • Computed tomography is a sensitive imaging modality for identifying accessory spleens.
    • CT is particularly effective for detecting larger accessory spleens (≥10 mm) in the left upper quadrant.
