title: The role of scintigraphy in detection of liver metastases from gastrointestinal carcinomas.
abstract: 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.
