Spleen SPECT is a method of functional visualization of organs using a radiopharmaceutical, the radiation of which is recorded by special sensors as it accumulates in tissues. The study allows us to assess the shape, size of the spleen and the uniformity of its structure. It is used in the diagnosis of inflammatory processes and volumetric formations of various nature. SPECT of the spleen is also used to detect traumatic damage to the spleen and in the process of diagnosing certain liver diseases.
