    Area of Science:

    • Nuclear Medicine
    • Diagnostic Imaging
    • Hepatology

    Background:

    • Assessing liver function is crucial for diagnosing and managing various hepatobiliary diseases.
    • Traditional methods for evaluating liver excretory function have limitations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a novel scintigraphic method for quantifying liver chromoexcretive function.
    • To establish a new parameter for liver function assessment using sequential scintigraphy.

    Main Methods:

    • Intravenous administration of 131I-BSP followed by sequential scintigraphy using a scintillation camera.
    • Recording liver and mesogastrium images at 1-minute intervals for the first 60 minutes, and at 3 and 24 hours post-injection.
    • Calculating the velocity coefficient of radioactivity accumulation in the liver as a liver chromoexcretive function parameter using digital computer analysis.

    Main Results:

    • The method successfully generated a velocity coefficient reflecting liver chromoexcretive function.
    • Comparison with standard BSP retention tests, temporal curve analysis, and clinical status indicated the method's utility.
    • Initial experiences with 91 individuals suggest the technique is highly useful.

    Conclusions:

    • Sequential scintigraphy with 131I-BSP offers a valuable, non-invasive method for assessing liver chromoexcretive function.
    • The derived velocity coefficient serves as a reliable parameter for liver function evaluation.
    • This technique demonstrates significant potential as an auxiliary diagnostic tool in hepatology.
