[Determination of the functioning volume of the liver by multipositional scintigraphy and emission-computed...

The paper is concerned with methods for the determination of the liver volume using polypositional scintigraphy (PS) and computed emission tomography (SPECT). The accuracy of both methods was assessed using a liver phantom. The methods were tested in clinical practice on patients with diffuse liver lesions. A liver volume value compared with values in normometric tables as well as differences between a geometrical volume calculated by PS and a volume calculated by SPECT were of diagnostic importance.
