title: [Radiation diagnosis of spleen changes in flying personnel of fighter and helicopter aviation].
abstract: Some specific alterations of the spleen in flying personnel of fighter and helicopter aircraft have been elucidated. Regular patterns of splenomegaly appear to be linked with the adverse effects of air flight. The ultrasonic investigation was proved to be one of the most significant elements of the diagnostic algorithm used to determine the size and structure of the glandular parenchyma. The X-ray computer tomography and methods of computational analysis are no more than ancillary tools to get better insight into syntopy of the organ and surrounding tissues. The radionuclide investigation provides tentative data concerning the functional state of the organ.
