Article Synopsis
- Ultrasound (US) is essential for evaluating the spleen in patients with chronic liver disease and can indicate systemic issues through splenomegaly, commonly associated with portal hypertension.
- Distinct ultrasound findings for specific splenic conditions are often lacking, making clinical diagnosis challenging, but techniques like elastography and Doppler significantly improve assessment accuracy.
- Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) enhances the ability to differentiate between benign and malignant lesions in the spleen and is crucial in managing splenic trauma, reducing the need for invasive methods.
