    Area of Science:

    • Nuclear Medicine
    • Medical Imaging
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Accurate spleen volume estimation is crucial for various clinical applications.
    • Conventional methods for spleen volume measurement can be complex or require specialized equipment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe an uncomplicated scintigraphic method for spleen volume estimation.
    • To present a technique that integrates into routine nuclear medicine examinations.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized two individually exposed gamma camera films for calculation.
    • Employed Cobalt-57 (Co) indicators to establish a distance reference.
    • Applied principles similar to those used for heart volume calculation.

    Main Results:

    • Developed a straightforward scintigraphic approach for spleen volume assessment.
    • Demonstrated that no additional patient arrangements are necessary.
    • Showcased the method's compatibility with standard 99Tcm colloid liver-spleen scintigraphy.

    Conclusions:

    • The described method offers a simple and efficient way to estimate spleen volume.
    • This technique can be readily incorporated into standard clinical practice.
    • Facilitates accurate spleen volume measurement without increasing patient burden or procedural complexity.
