Λεμφαδενοπάθεια, σπληνομεγαλία (σπλήνας 7cm στη ΜΚΓ)

Yet again I am baffled by an abbreviation. It appears to be some kind of imaging examination, but as usual my brain goes into deep freeze when confronted by something like this. Abdominal MRI, perhaps?

Can anybody shed some light?

Example sentence(s):
  • In physical examination Traube space was closed, and he had a 10 cm palpable spleen on midclavicular line and other systems were normal.
  • A vertical line was drawn from the midclavicular point to the midinguinal point and was defined as the midclavicular line (MCL). All clinical as well as sonographic measurements were done with reference to this line(9).
