Small-animal models are crucial to gain insights in the complex recovery mechanisms of
liver function during liver regeneration. 99mTc-Mebrofenin hepatobiliary scintigraphy (HBS) …

Reliable assessment of hepatic function during liver regeneration is crucial after liver
surgery or liver transplantation. 99mTc-galactosyl human serum albumin (99mTc-GSA) …

Background The liver itself regenerates after hepatectomy but little is known about how
much hepatic function recovers during the regeneration. The liver uptake value (LUV) …

The accuracy of measurement of the functional hepatic volume by single photon emission
computed tomography (SPECT) with 99m Tc-galactosyl serum albumin (99m Tc-GSA) was …

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 …

In extended hepatectomy and liver transplantation, accurate estimation of functional hepatic
regeneration is more important than volumetric regeneration. We investigated the …

Preoperative evaluation of future remnant liver (FRL) function is crucial in the determination
of whether a patient can safely undergo liver resection. Although dynamic 99mTc …

Purpose To evaluate the role of hepatic asialoglycoprotein receptor analysis in the
preoperative estimation of postoperative hepatic functional reserve. Methods We obtained …

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to devise a predictive index to predict
residual liver function before hepatic resection, using technetium-99m diethylenetriamine …
