| Popis: | The primary application of radioisotope scanning technics to the liver has involved the differentiation of non-functioning masses from the normal functioning liver parenchyma (1, 2, 4, 7). In most cases, therefore, this technic has been concerned with the identification of primary and metastatic tumors. In the present study, attention has been focused not on visualization as an end in itself, but rather on what information radioisotope scanning can contribute to all other data available in the cirrhotic patient. With this object in mind, consideration must be given to what information scanning can provide. In Figure 1 four factors are observed that may contribute useful information. First, the outline of the liver may be seen. In addition, when there is normal distribution the actual size of the liver may be estimated by reconstructing the effective dimensions through measurement of the areas of the scan at three successive cut-off levels (13). Second, the position of the body wall is illustrated on the s... |
