1Istituto di Clinica Medica, Università degli Studi, Palermo.
Background:
Sixteen parameters of liver diseases including echography, liver scintigraphy with radioactive colloids, slices of the SPECT and the 3 dimensions surface display of the SPECT, were examined in 17 patients with liver disease.
Methods:
The findings of imaging examinations were classified with a code of letters and numbers and patients with the same code were given the same number. The measured values were submitted to a multivariate analysis to evaluate which variable were significant to predict focal liver lesions.
Results:
The slices of SPECT, TGP and bilirubin were the most significant indexes of liver lesions.
Conclusions:
The validity of SPECT in the study of focal liver lesions is confirmed.

The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
