Abstract

The precise evaluation of splenic lesions using cross-sectional imaging presents a complex challenge due to the overlapping imaging characteristics of most splenic diseases and the absence of specific symptoms, complicating the diagnosis process. This pictorial review highlights the essential elements that should be included in a radiology report to interpret cross-sectional imaging studies of splenic lesions. To augment the diagnostic accuracy, we propose the implementation of a stepwise algorithmic approach. This approach offers a comprehensive analysis of splenic anomalies and lesions, providing an invaluable tool for radiologists and clinicians.
