Abstract

Twenty-nine patients with known splenomegaly and seven healthy volunteers were examined. The T₁ and T₂ relaxation times were read out from a region of interest centrally in the spleen. Even though different mean T₁ and T₂ relaxation times were found between the groups, the great scatter and the considerable overlap between the groups makes the contribution of relaxation time measurements to the differential diagnosis of splenomegaly of limited value.
