4.1.1\ Method

The patient should be on fast for 8–12 h with a left lateral decubitus position. The probe is put in the left ninth, tenth, or eleventh intercostal spaces.

4.1.2\ Section Structure

The longitudinal section of the spleen is shown. Splenic parenchyma is very homogeneous and is lower than echoes of liver. The accessory spleen occasionally is found near the hilum of the spleen and has the same echogenicity as the spleen.

4.1.3\ Measuring Method and Normal

Measurement of the largest thickness of the spleen should be made from the top of the lateral capsule to the hilum capsule. Measurement of the

length should be made from the superior extremity to the inferior extremity. The measurement of the width diameter should be vertical to the length diameter.

4.1.4\ Clinical Application Value

It is the standard section for the spleen measurement and is used to observe the spleen size, shape, and echogenicity.
