Evaluation of Systemic Involvement of Coronavirus Disease 2019 through Spleen; Size and Texture Analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: Although COVID-19 manifests with lung involvement in the early stage, it can also cause systemic involvement, and the spleen may be one of its target organs. A decrease in the spleen size and parenchymal microstructure changes can be observed in the short follow-up time. It is hoped that the changes in the parenchymal microstructure will be demonstrated by a non-invasive method: texture analysis. PMID: 33421971 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
