title: Focal spared area in fatty liver simulating a mass. Scintigraphic evaluation.
abstract: The characterization of focally spared areas in a fatty liver may at times be problematic. This report illustrates the unique diagnostic role that combined xenon-133/technetium-99m sulfur colloid scintigraphy can play in such cases.
