Abstract： Objective To observe and analyze the standards of the normal adult splenic multislice spiral CT (MSCT) imaging to provide relevant normal range for clinic and teaching .Methods One hundred and sixty cases with normal spleen were undergone abdominal MSCT , then 3D imaging was performed , the position of spleen distance between two poles of spleen ,the out edges of right and left of spleen ,the midpoint of the splenic hailar and the central line of the spine , the diameter of splenic portal vein and splenic length ,thickness and width were observed and meas-ured with statistics analysis.Results Almost splenic upper poles located at the T 10 level,lower poles located at the L2 level and the midpoint of the splenic hailar located at the L 1 level.The values measured on CT of spleen in men were larger than that in women .Except for the distance between the midpoint of the splenic hailar ,the out edges of right and left of spleen and the central line of the body and thick of spleen , the most values measured on CT were all of signifi-cant statistically(P<0.05).Along with age increasing, the values measured on CT of spleen in normal adult have a tendency of shrinking .Conclusion The data of normal adult splenic location , size and shape obtained in this study can be used as the values consulted by clinic diagnosis , treatment and teaching .
