The sensitivity and specificity of ultrasonography and scintigraphy for detecting the presence of liver metastases were compared in 250 patients with cancer. In the 80 cases with metastases, the sensitivity of ultrasonography was 95%, that of scintigraphy being 75%. In 170 cases without metastases the specificity of ultrasonography was 96%, that of scintigraphy being 92%. These results, confirmed by reports in the published literature, show that ultrasonography should be the first morphological-detecting examination for suspected hepatic metastases, with scintigraphy as a second option.
对250例癌症患者比较了超声检查和闪烁扫描检测肝转移瘤的敏感性和特异性。在80例有转移瘤的病例中，超声检查的敏感性为95%，闪烁扫描为75%。在170例无转移瘤的病例中，超声检查的特异性为96%，闪烁扫描为92%。这些结果经已发表文献报道证实，表明超声检查应作为疑似肝转移瘤的首选形态学检测方法，闪烁扫描作为第二选择。
