Evaluation of Spleen Stiffness Using Point Shear Wave Elastography in Healthy Individuals

Öz

Aim: Sonoelastography is a non-invasive imaging method used to evaluate the mechanical properties of any tissue. The clinical value of method, the usage of which is increasingly prevailing, is gradually increasing and on account of having newly entered the application field, it is becoming a potential in the research area. Shear wave (SW) propagates faster in stiffer and lower elastic tissues. Studies on liver fibrosis musculoskeletal, breast, prostate, testis, and thyroid nodules accept this principle. In this study, aimed to determine the average values using the point shear wave elastography (pSWE) technique in normal healthy individuals and to determine the relationship of these values with age, gender, body mass index (BMI), and the spleen dimensions.
Method: In 2019, patients who had visited the internal medicine service and those who have been directed to this clinics for grayscale ultrasound (US) for various reasons are voluntarily included in the study. The research was carried out consecutively on the same day by two specialist doctors who had 10 and 15 years of experience in ultrasonography and 3-year experience in elastography.
Results: 39 (39%) of the 100 patients who participated in the study were men, and 61 (61%) were women. And the ages varied between 32-75 years (y) (54,5±9,5). The average spleen stiffness was found to be 89,2±43,3 kilopascal (kPa) (14,2-152,3) by the first observer and 89,4±41,1 kPa (14,4-151,1) by the second observer.
Conclusion: To facilitate the common clinical usage and to evaluate the change in the stiffness of the spleen in different patients, first of all, it is required to determine the normal values of the stiffness of the spleen in healthy individuals using sonoelastography. In this study, the average spleen parenchyma stiffness was detected as higher than in previous studies. The values obtained in this study can be used to function as a comparison to determine the spleen stiffness. They can be used as referential to examine the different spleen pathologies in the clinical environments that use Esaote myLab device and pSWE method.
