title: Enhanced detectability of local colloid uptake with SPECT imaging.
abstract: Focal "hot" spots with Tc-99m sulfur colloid in the left lobe of the liver have been reported in a variety of conditions. SPECT imaging of the liver has demonstrated increased accuracy of detecting small sized hemangiomas. A case is presented in which the SPECT images clearly demonstrate a "hot" spot in the left lobe of the liver that is not well demonstrated on planar imaging. There is little information regarding the enhanced detectability of left lobe "hot" spots with SPECT imaging. This case demonstrates such findings.
