[Roentgenoradiological and ultrasonic diagnosis of liver and spleen involvement in patients with Hodgkin's disease].

A combined study including selective angiography of the liver and spleen, angioscintigraphy with 99mTc-TCK-5, polypositional scintigraphy with 99mTc-frosstimag-phytate, and ultrasonic scanning was conducted to detect specific liver and splenic involvement in 57 patients with Hodgkin's disease, CT was performed in 4 patients. A high diagnostic value of all methods was shown in macronodal liver involvement (node sizes over 3 cm); of ultrasonic scanning--in the detection of nodes in the liver (node sizes from 1 to 3 cm); of ultrasonic scanning, angiography and angioscintigraphy--in nodal splenic involvement. Signs of diffuse-infiltrative liver involvement detected in angiography and angioscintigraphy were described. The informative value of ultrasonic scanning and CT in this type of involvement was much lower.
