“…CD‐US shows the patency of the splenic vessels and helps in the evaluation of splenic parenchymal alterations. PW‐US enables to analyze the resistivity and pulsatility indices, these are important parameters for monitoring portal hypertension 3 . The most frequently used transducer is the wideband, 2–5 MHz convex probe, while an additional approach using a high‐frequency linear transducer may be useful to detect smaller lesions, discontinuation of the splenic surface, and superficial minor vascular pathologies 4 .…”

This paper summarizes the main splenic emergencies and their ultrasonographic findings to orient appropriate patient management. US requires minimal preparation time and allows to examine the parenchyma and to detect intraperitoneal fluid collections, which may be indirect evidence of solid organ injuries. In this paper, we analyze the role of B‐mode, Doppler and Contrast‐Enhanced Ultrasound in the diagnosis of splenic emergencies, with a particular focus on splenic infarction, infection, traumatic injuries and vascular splenic anomalies.
