Fifty-five heterogeneous technetium-99m sulfur colloid liver scans of 48 patients with suspected metastatic disease were compared with gray scale ultrasound results. Of the 52 ultrasound scans corresponding to the nuclear scans with mild to moderate heterogeneity, 35 (67%) were normal, 11 (21%) were consistent with hepatocellular disease, 3 were incomplete because of abdominal gas, and 2 were false positive studies interpreted as suspicious for tumor. Ultrasound is not recommended for searching for space-occupying lesions when the nuclear scan is mild to moderately heterogeneous; it did detect the presence of tumor in 1 of 3 patients with severely "mottled" nuclear scans.
对48例疑似转移性疾病患者的55份异质性锝-99m硫胶体肝脏扫描结果与灰阶超声结果进行了比较。在与核扫描结果为轻度至中度异质性相对应的52份超声扫描中，35份（67%）正常，11份（21%）与肝细胞疾病相符，3份因腹部气体干扰而不完整，2份为假阳性研究，被解读为可疑肿瘤。当核扫描为轻度至中度异质性时，不建议使用超声来寻找占位性病变；在3例核扫描严重“斑驳”的患者中，超声仅检测出1例存在肿瘤。
