title: Liver scintigraphy in a patient with Gaucher disease.
abstract: Liver scintigraphy including SPECT was performed in a patient with Gaucher disease and compared with other methods. Multiple photon-deficient areas in the liver and spleen were recognized, and in evaluating the reticuloendothelial system of the liver, liver SPECT image was superior to US, CT and MR images.
