Carcinoid liver metastases may be more easily detected by radionuclide liver-spleen studies (RN imaging study) than by computed tomography (CT). While multiple studies have suggested that CT is a more sensitive test than the Tc-99m sulfur colloid study for the detection of most types of liver metastases, carcinoid tumors appear to be an exception. The results of 23 pairs of CT and RN imaging studies that were obtained within one month of each other in patients with proven carcinoid tumors are reported. Comparison of the initial reports of the studies as well as a blinded reinterpretation of the studies suggest that in this group of patients the RN imaging study appeared to be superior to CT in the evaluation of the response to therapy.
与计算机断层扫描（CT）相比，放射性核素肝脾显像研究（RN成像研究）可能更容易检测到类癌肝转移。虽然多项研究表明，对于大多数类型的肝转移瘤，CT比Tc-99m硫胶体显像检查更敏感，但类癌肿瘤似乎是个例外。本文报告了23例经证实患有类癌肿瘤的患者在彼此相隔一个月内进行的CT和RN成像研究结果。对研究的初始报告以及对这些研究的盲法重新解读进行比较表明，在这组患者中，RN成像研究在评估治疗反应方面似乎优于CT。
