Prediction of human spleen size by computer analysis of splenic scintigrams
The British Journal of Radiology
|February 1, 1976
Abstract:
A method of assessing spleen size from splenic scintigraphs obtained using autologous heat damaged 99Tcm labelled red cells is described. The method depends on a "computed volume" estimate. The method has a correlation coefficient of 989 with the exsanguinated weight ofthe spleen after splenectomy and has been shown to have an accuracysuperior to methods previously described.
