The spleen is an important organ of reticuloendothelial system, but it is a less well-known organ in terms of its pathologies. Therefore, the spleen is considered a 'forgotten or neglected organ' by radiologists and clinicians. Spleen pathologies show a wide spectrum ranging from congenital anomalies to malignant lesions. Radiological imaging methods play an important role in detecting these pathologies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
