Comparative Study
Detection of splenosis: 99Tcm tin colloid scanning and computed transmission tomography compared
Nucl Med Commun.

Abstract
Ten patients who had been splenectomized for trauma between 1 and 11 years previously were studied by computed tomography (CT) and radionuclide scanning with 99Tcm tin colloid on the same day. Computed tomography detected splenic tissue in three patients. Radionuclide scanning detected splenic tissue in eight patients, including two cases of typical splenosis not identified by CT. Radionuclide scanning was found to be more sensitive in the detection of residual splenic tissue than CT.
