Spleen Ultrasound

B-ultrasound is a medical examination item that patients often come into contact with at the time of treatment. Clinically, it is widely used in the diagnosis of cardiology, gastroenterology, urology and obstetrics and gynecology. Indications splenomegaly, spleen abscess, spleen tumor. Basic Information Specialist classification: Digestive examination classification: ultrasound Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: not fasting Analysis results: Below normal: Traumatic spleen rupture occurred, and when the child had no spleen syndrome, the test value was lower than the normal value. Normal value: Spleen length: 8-12cm Spleen thickness: 3-4.5cm Above normal: Primary spleen lymphoma occurred, and the test value was higher than normal when the patient had chronic congestive splenomegaly. negative: Positive: Tips: Don't be nervous when checking, follow the doctor's arrangements. Normal value The length of the spleen was measured by the oblique intercostal surface of the spleen, and the distance from the lowest point of the spleen to the highest point of the upper pole was the length of the spleen, and the normal value ranged from 8 to 12 cm. The thickness of the spleen showed the spleen and splenic vein through the intercostal oblique section, and the diameter of the spleen to the lateral edge of the spleen was measured, which is the spleen thickness, and the normal value ranged from 3 to 4 cm. Individuals can be slightly thicker, but not more than 4.5cm. The spleen oblique section of the spleen is slightly semilunar, the upper part is closer to the midline than the lower part, and the inner upper end is sometimes only 1.0 cm away from the spine and the abdominal aorta. The long axis is often parallel to the left 10th rib, and the lower pole sometimes reaches the midline. The contour is clear, the surface is smooth and tidy, the outer edge is curved outward, and the central part of the inner edge is inwardly recessed into the spleen. It can be seen that several tubular anechoic areas pass through, mainly the splenic vein, which is faint and pulsating. The smaller tubular echo is the splenic artery. Clinical significance Indications splenomegaly, spleen abscess, spleen tumor. Low results may be diseases: pediatric liver failure, pediatric sclerosing cholangitis results may be high disease: pediatric Wiscott-Aldrich syndrome, pediatric Niemann-Pick disease, pediatric hereditary fructose intolerance matter The normal sonogram of the spleen has an arc-shaped structure, which is smooth and tidy, and the dirty surface is slightly trapped. The spleen is notch, and the echo is strong. The spleen parenchyma echo is very uniform, and the echo intensity is slightly lower or closer to the liver, which is slightly higher than the echo of the renal cortex. Inspection process Inspection method: B-ultrasound. Not suitable for the crowd Inappropriate people: Generally there are no people who are not suitable.
