Two cases are reported in which well-defined lesions of the liver were seen in radiocolloid liver imagings but not in the concurrent abdominal CT images. The results of autopsy confirmed the diagnosis of hepatoma in one and metastatic disease in the other. The third case, referred for a Tc-99m SC liver-spleen image because of a suboptimal abdominal CT owing to artifact, showed a normal liver. In certain clinical situations, radiocolloid imaging provides a complementary role to CT in the detection or confirmation of hepatic lesions and, in occasional patients, is superior to CT.
报告了两例病例,在放射性胶体肝显像中可见明确的肝脏病变,但同期腹部CT图像中未见。尸检结果证实一例为肝癌,另一例为转移性疾病。第三例因伪影导致腹部CT图像欠佳而进行锝-99m硫胶体肝脾显像,结果显示肝脏正常。在某些临床情况下,放射性胶体显像在检测或确认肝脏病变方面对CT起到补充作用,且在少数患者中优于CT。
