The role of scintigraphy in detection of liver metastases from gastrointestinal carcinomas.
In 61 patients with gastrointestinal carcinomas the results of liver scintigraphy with 99mTc sulphur colloid were correlated with the results from operations or autopsies. Agreement was obtained in 90% of patients. Compared with celiac angiographic findings, scintigraphy of the liver was considerably more reliable in indicating liver metastases of gastrointestinal carcinomas.
