Second-Generation Sonographic Contrast Agent for Differential Diagnosis of Perisplenic Lesions

¹ Both authors: Departments of Internal Medicine and Hematology, Philipps University Marburg, Baldingerstrasse, 35043 Marburg/Lahn, Germany.

OBJECTIVE. On contrast-enhanced sonography, second-generation contrast media have shown a spleen-specific uptake of the microbubble contrast agent. To date, there is little data about the diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced sonography in perisplenic lesions.

CONCLUSION. In patients with a perisplenic tumor of unknown cause, contrast-enhanced sonography enables the diagnosis or exclusion of accessory spleens.
