Overview
CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of myelofibrosis. Findings on CT scan suggestive of myelofibrosis include diffuse bone sclerosis.
CT
- CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of myelofibrosis.
- Findings on CT scan suggestive of myelofibrosis can be divided into scans of different locations such as:
Abdominal CT Findings
- Thrombus formation in the visceral vasculature[1]
- Bilateral renal enlargement (as a result of extramedullary hematopoiesis)[2][3][4]
- Splenomegaly[5][3]
- Hepatomegaly[3][6]
