Dear XXXXXXX

I will need few more information to better answer your question.

What was the reason for the CT (computerized Tomography) scan of the abdomen?
What is the size of the spleen that is measured?
Do you have results of other blood work up that was done?

Please do send me the above information to help me answer your query.

Also, you have a feature to upload the reports / image by yourself at the right side of the query page, please utilize that so that I can answer your queries better.

Thanks.
