PurposeThe目的本研究的目的是评估脾硬度值与剪切波弹性成像（SWE）定量在健康成人，并探讨脾硬度与年龄，性别，和脾脏size.MethodsThis研究包括65名健康人。脾脏硬度测量值采用二维（2-D）SWE方法从脾脏中部获得，并通过取三次有效测量值的平均值以千帕计算。测量脾脏纵、横径。探讨了脾脏硬度与年龄、性别和脾脏大小的关系。脾脏大小与年龄和性别之间的关联也evaluated.ResultsThe平均脾脏硬度值为13.82 - 2.91kPa，和脾脏硬度不受年龄，性别，或脾脏大小。脾脏的纵向尺寸在女性显着低于男性。脾脏纵径与年龄呈显著负相关（r=0.247，p=0.048）。结论二维慢波弹性成像可定量测量脾脏硬度，且脾脏硬度不受年龄、性别和脾脏大小的影响。本研究所测得的数值可作为不同脾脏病理检查的正常基础值。
PurposeThe aim of this study is to evaluate spleen stiffness values with shear wave elastography (SWE) quantitatively in healthy adults and investigate the relationship of spleen stiffness with age, gender, and spleen size.MethodsThis study included 65 healthy individuals. Spleen stiffness measurement was obtained with 2 dimensional (2-D) SWE method from the middle portion of spleen and calculated in kilopascals by taking the average of three valid measurements. Longitudinal and transverse spleen sizes were measured. The relationship of spleen stiffness with age, gender, and spleen size was investigated. The association between spleen size and age and gender was also evaluated.ResultsThe mean spleen stiffness value was 13.822.91kPa, and the spleen stiffness was not affected by age, gender, or spleen size. Longitudinal spleen size was significantly lower in females than that in males. Moreover, there was a significant negative correlation between longitudinal spleen size and age (r=0.247, p=0.048).Conclusion p id=Par4 Spleen stiffness can be quantitatively measured by 2-D SWE, and the spleen stiffness is not affected by age, gender, and spleen size. The values obtained in this study can be used as normal base values in examination of different spleen pathologies.
