Popis: It was the aim of this study to determine the value of portal-venous (p.v.), intra-arterial (i.a.) or intravenous (i.v.) IS in the detection of liver metastases. Immediately after angiography and i.a. CT (20 patients) or p.v. CT (6 patients), 0.7–1.2 GBq of the 99mTc labeled anti-CEA MoAb were injected via the i.a. catheter, and in 10 patients i.v. Planar scanning was performed. Using IS in the detection of liver metastases a total sensitivity of 61% was established. However, IS was still found to be the decisive method of excluding extrahepatic tumor deposits.
