title: Focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver as established by 99mTc sulfur colloid and HIDA scintigraphy.
abstract: Three cases of focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver are reported, presumably associated with the long-term use of oral contraceptives. Special reference is made to hepatobiliary scintigraphy with 99mTc diethyl-IDA, and the cause of the observed findings is discussed.
