Spleen Injury
Diagnosis of Spleen Injury
Ultrasound or computed tomography scans Doctors usually do ultrasonography or computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen if they suspect an injury to the spleen. Rarely, if doctors suspect a severe hemorrhage, surgery is done immediately to make a diagnosis and control the bleeding. People with severe bleeding also are given blood transfusions or intravenous fluids if blood is not readily available.
