SPECT hepatic scintigraphy "hot spot" localization.
The authors report a case of "hot spot" localization on SPECT hepatic scintigraphy secondary to IVC obstruction. The tomographic slices demonstrated the location of the focal increase in radiotracer activity as anterior, within the medial segment of the left lobe of the liver. Radionuclide angiography confirmed the extensive collateral vasculature of IVC obstruction.
