Assessment of Splenic Perfusion in Patients with Malignant Hematologic Diseases and Spleen Involvement, Liver Cirrhosis and Controls Using Volume Perfusion CT (VPCT)

Volume perfusion computed tomography represents a novel tool for the assessment of splenic perfusion. Preliminary results in patients with spleen involvement reveal lower perfusion values compared to controls or patients with cirrhosis. Therefore, this technique might provide additional information in clinical routine.
