Abstract
Measurements of the splenic blood flow in five greyhound dogs and one adult human undergoing splenectomy were performed using a 133Xenon clearance method and an electromagnetic flowmeter simultaneously. A highly significant correlation (r = 0·89 P < 0·001) between these two methods was found, indicating that the technique of measuring organ blood flow by monitoring the clearance of 133Xenon can be applied to the spleen.Keywords
