[New aspects of liver scintigraphy (author's transl)].
The development of the scintillation camera computer scintigraphy has created new chances for nuclear medicine diagnosis of the liver. With the development of new 99mTc-labeled radiopharmacenticals the effectiveness of functional scintigraphy of the liver in the differential diagnosis of parenchymal and mechanical icterus could be considerably increased. Computer perfusion scintigraphy permits proof of circulatory changes in the liver without invasive techniques. Its importance lies in early diagnosis of portal hypertension and in pre- and post-operative assessment of liver circulation after shunt surgery.
