CT APPEARANCE OF SPLENIC INJURIES MANAGED NONOPERATIVELY AMERICAN JOURNAL OF ROENTGENOLOGY Do, H. M., Cronan, J. J. 1991; 157 (4): 757-760

Abstract

This essay illustrates the appearance of the traumatized spleen on CT scans obtained during the course of conservative treatment. Although the CT appearance of acute rupture of the spleen has been adequately described, little has been reported about the appearance of the spleen as it heals after trauma. Examples of CT studies of splenic injuries illustrate the various changes in appearance over time in the traumatized spleen that is treated nonoperatively.
