Measurement of Spleen Stiffness by Shear-Wave Elastography for Prediction of Splenomegaly Etiology

Conclusions Distinguishing the causes of splenomegaly is important because the disorders require different management strategies. In diseases that cause splenomegaly, tissue content may change according to pathogenesis. Such changes in the spleen are mechanical properties that can be quantified by elastography.
