[The use of nuclear medicine in the examination to liver and spleen (author's transl)].

The employment of scintigraphy in the examination of liver and spleen represents a simple and rapid diagnostic method which hardly burdens the patient since it is non-invasive. The accuracy ratings in respect of focal lesions show that it should not be over-estimated. When used in a meaningful and relevant manner within the spectrum of all available diagnostic measures, however, liver-spleen scintigraphy will often supply significant information.
