Compared with other intraabdominal organs, there is a paucity of scientific investigation involving the spleen; in particular, little has been published in the radiology literature regarding the detection and characterization of splenic disease conditions. Splenic lesions are common in a busy radiology practice. Technical advancements in computed tomography (CT) allow unprecedented temporal and spatial resolution; unexpected splenic lesions are commonly detected on CT examinations of the abdomen and chest and often pose a diagnostic challenge to both the radiologist and clinician. This article discusses incidental splenic lesions detected on CT and explores potential management strategies.
与其他腹腔内器官相比，涉及脾脏的科学研究较少；特别是，放射学文献中关于脾脏疾病状况的检测和特征描述的内容很少。脾脏病变在繁忙的放射学实践中很常见。计算机断层扫描（CT）技术的进步实现了前所未有的时间和空间分辨率；腹部和胸部CT检查中经常意外发现脾脏病变，这对放射科医生和临床医生来说常常是一个诊断挑战。本文讨论了CT检查中偶然发现的脾脏病变，并探讨了潜在的处理策略。
