Overview

MRI of the spleen can also be useful to assess for splenomegaly in cases of hemolytic anemia. However, this is a far more costly test compared to ultrasound or CT.

MRI scan

• MRI of the spleen can also be useful to assess for splenomegaly in cases of hemolytic anemia. However, this is a far more costly test compared to ultrasound or CT.
• If ultrasound or CT are unavailable or nondiagnostic, MRI can be considered.
• MRI can also accurately assess the size of the liver.
