This review describes the application of 2 nuclear imaging techniques for assessment of
hepatic function in the setting of liver surgery and transplantation. The biochemical and …

Asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGP-R) is a hepatic cell surface receptor specific for
galactose-terminated glycoprotein. The 99mTc-labeled asialoglycoprotein analog, TcGSA …

Background Standard evaluation of patients undergoing hepatic surgery has been through
radiological and quantitative determination of liver function. As more complex and extensive …

Reliable monitoring enabling evaluation of graft function is crucial after living‐donor liver
transplantation (LDLT). A method to identify poor graft function at an early postoperative …

Background. Auxiliary partial orthotopic liver transplantation (APOLT) has been developed
in order to benefit from the efficacy of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) in the treatment of …

Currently, nuclear imaging such as positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon
emission computed tomography (SPECT) is increasingly used in the management of liver …

The evolution of 99mTc-galactosyl-neoglycoalbumin (NGA) into a clinically useful receptor-
binding radiopharmaceutical makes possible the ability to measure receptor biochemistry in …

Objective Predicting liver functional reserve is important before partial hepatectomy.
However, it is difficult to predict using morphologic imaging modalities, such as CT and MRI …

Background: In adult living‐donor liver transplantation (LDLT), the assessment of the graft
functional reserve is very important. We evaluated the graft functional reserve by technetium …

Purpose To evaluate the indications and perspectives of nuclear medicine techniques in
transplantation. Methods We performed a systematic review of the literature using …
