title: Liver scans in evaluation of lesions of the diaphragm.
abstract: Three patients had chest radiographs suggesting pathology associated with the right hemidiaphragm. The patients' histories included trauma in one case, recently diagnosed leukemia in a second, and Hodgkin's disease in the third. In all three cases, the Tc-99m-sulfur colloid liver scan provided a noninvasive identification of the nature of the diaphragmatic densities seen on the chest radiographs, thus affecting patient management.
