title: [Liver metastases: sonography or scintigraphy? A comparative prospective study].
abstract: In 278 patients with known malignancy a sonogram, scintigram and laboratory examination were done on the same day. The comparison of the examinations revealed nearly the same accuracy for both imaging modalities with 90% for sonography and 89% for scintigraphy. Sonography showed the more uniform results, because scintigraphy had a high percentage of false positive results. The value of both methods as the utility of an additional laboratory examination are discussed.
