Hepatic flow scintigraphy has been used to evaluate 150 patients with gastrointestinal carcinoma. A normal range has been obtained on a group of 23 healthy volunteers. The flow scintigraphic findings have been correlated with the presence of metastases at the time of primary surgical therapy. The group of patients with livers ostensibly clear of metastases have been followed up over a one-year period. At one year the specificity of the investigation is 72 per cent with a sensitivity of 96 per cent. We conclude that flow scintigraphy is capable of not only detecting established hepatic metastases, but will also identify patients harbouring occult metastatic disease.
肝血流闪烁扫描术已用于评估150例胃肠道癌患者。在一组23名健康志愿者身上获得了正常范围值。血流闪烁扫描结果已与初次手术治疗时转移灶的存在情况相关联。对肝脏表面看似无转移灶的患者组进行了为期一年的随访。一年时，该检查的特异性为72%，敏感性为96%。我们得出结论，血流闪烁扫描术不仅能够检测出已有的肝转移灶，还能识别出隐匿性转移疾病患者。
