摘要: Abstract To evaluate the tomographic features in differentiating benign from malignant splenic diseases, 54 patients with a cytohistological examination and contrast-enhanced multidetector computed tomography (ce-MDCT) and/or positron emission tomography/computed (PET/CT) were retrospectively selected. Significant associations observed between ce-MDCT Pattern 3 (focal hyperdense lesion) 4 (infarcts/cysts) as well PET/CT photopenia/diffuse uptake max ) lesion characteristics was observed. The metabolic data do not improve performance of morphological patterns.
