Abstract
Various pathologies can involve the spleen. In this chapter, we start by illustrating the gross anatomy and microscopic features of the spleen. Then, we briefly discuss various cross-sectional techniques that are often utilized for imaging the spleen including computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Finally, we review various splenic pathologies with a special emphasis placed on the imaging features and differential diagnoses of these entities through practical algorithmic approach.
