Abstract
LIVER scanning with radioactive isotopes has become a frequently used procedure in the study of patients with various forms of liver disease. Most recent reports suggest that liver scanning is primarily helpful for detection of space-occupying lesions of the liver and is of questionable value in the study of patients with diffuse hepatic parenchymal disease.It is the purpose of this report to show that hepatic photoscanning with radioactive colloidal gold (198Au) may be a useful procedure for evaluating the degree of portal–systemic collateral circulation in patients with chronic liver disease.MethodsPatients StudiedTwenty patients with chronic liver . . .Keywords
