Disparate hepatic imaging with technetium-99m sulfur colloid and disofenin in Wilson's disease.
A 10-yr-old boy presented with fulminant hepatic failure. Technetium-99m sulfur colloid images showed absent reticuloendothelial function in the liver. A [99mTc]-disofenin hepatobiliary scan visualized liver parenchyma and biliary excretion. Disparate appearance of the liver may be seen in other hepatic diseases, but should be remembered as a possible pattern in Wilson's disease.
