Multi-Detector Computed Tomography Of Spleen

Multi-detector computed tomography has become a vital tool in imaging of the spleen. We present a pictorial review of multi-detector computed tomography imaging features of the normal spleen, its anatomic variants, and when it is affected by pathology. We strongly feel that awareness of normal and anatomical variants is essential to avoid mislabelling these as pathological. The classical features of traumatic, infective, haematological and malignant conditions involving the spleen are also presented.
