Radioisotope diagnosis of splenic trauma. 1977

B H Harris, and T S Morse, and C H Weidenmier, and A H Wilkinson, and H W Webb

Multiple injury or delay in seeking medical attention may prevent confident clinical diagnosis of splenic trauma. The spleen scan is a rapid, simple, noninvasive test useful in such circumstances. When peritoneal lavage is contraindicated, unrevealing, or inapproapriate, radioisotope imaging of the spleen can help confirm a suspicion of splenic injury.
