The spleen, however, is an often\u2010overlooked organ, with limited information published. The aims of this retrospective, observational, study were to document the visibility, size, and shape of the normal rabbit spleen and potential correlations with signalment. Institutional imaging archives were reviewed for diagnostic\u2010image\u2010quality abdominal CT studies of rabbits. In 115 cases, the inclusion criteria were met. Pre\u2010 and postcontrast CT studies were evaluated by two reviewers for visibility of the spleen. For precontrast CT images, the interrater agreement for identification of the spleen was fair. For postcontrast CT images, interrater agreement was moderate. There were significantly more spleens clearly identified on postcontrast studies compared with precontrast CT. Splenic location, volume, shape, X\u2010ray attenuation, and length were measured, and the splenic\u2010volume\u2010to\u2010body\u2010weight ratio was calculated. The mean splenic volume was 1\u00a0mL (range 0.2\u20133.9\u00a0mL), mean length 40\u00a0mm (range 20\u201361\u00a0mm), mean attenuation (precontrast CT 80\u00a0HU and postcontrast CT 320\u00a0HU), and mean splenic volume\/body weight ratio was 0.5\u00a0mL\/kg (range 0.17\u20131.2\u00a0mL\/kg). There was a significant relationship between splenic volume and body weight, which was weakly positively correlated. There was no correlation between splenic volume, age, and sex. The most commonly identified splenic shapes were \u201cbanana\u201d, \u201ctongue\u201d, and \u201celephant trunk\u201d. The rabbit spleen can be identified on CT images, but more reliably on postcontrast CT images, which underlines the usefulness of contrast\u2010enhanced CT in this species.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/vru.13282","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,27]],"date-time":"2023-07-27T06:27:01Z","timestamp":1690439221000},"page":"844-850","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Computed tomographic features of the normal spleen in rabbits (<i>Oryctolagus cuniculus domesticus<\/i>)"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"64","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7416-6159","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chavdar","family":"Chernev","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies and Roslin Institute The University of Edinburgh Roslin UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6136-7485","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tessa","family":"Procter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies and Roslin Institute The University of Edinburgh Roslin UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9799-5531","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ingrid","family":"Isaac","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies and Roslin Institute The University of Edinburgh Roslin UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4611-556X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bronwyn","family":"Koterwas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies and Roslin Institute The University of Edinburgh Roslin UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-4027-4079","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kevin","family":"Eatwell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies and Roslin Institute The University of Edinburgh Roslin UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5005-1143","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emma","family":"Keeble","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies and Roslin Institute The University of Edinburgh Roslin UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-2686-6499","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jenna","family":"Richardson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies and Roslin Institute The University of Edinburgh Roslin UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8412-573X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tobias","family":"Schwarz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies and Roslin Institute The University of Edinburgh Roslin UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.257.3.313"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/vru.12939"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/vru.12852"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/vr.104980"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/vru.12602"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/vro2.31"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","first-page":"90","volume-title":"A Colour Atlas of Small Laboratory Animals.
