Effect of Breath Holding on Spleen Volume Measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

Effect of Breath Holding on Spleen Volume Measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

OBJECTIVE:Ultrasonographic studies have demonstrated transient reduction in spleen volume in relation to apnea diving. We measured spleen volume under various respiratory conditions by MR imaging to accurately determine the influence of ordinary breath holding on spleen volumetry. MATERIALS AND METH...
