ABSTRACT

Intravenous perfusion hepatography with ^113mIn eluate was used to evaluate capillary perfusion of hepatic masses shown by ^99mTcS colloid scintiphotography. The scintiphotos of 95 proven cases were analyzed. The results indicate that the perfusion study combined with radio active colloid liver scintiphotography may help to differentiate neoplastic lesions, especially hepatomas, from benign liver diseases such as abscess, hematoma, or congenital solitary cyst. This simple and innocuous approach would be a useful screening technique.
