Aim:
To perform a comparative analysis of computerized tomographic volumetry and scintigraphic liver volumetry in assessment of remnant liver volume after advanced hepatic resection.
Material And Methods:
Static hepatobiliary scintigraphy and CT volumetry were performed in 45 patients with various liver tumors who underwent advanced hepatectomies (more than three segments).
Results:
There were no any significant differences in volumetric parameters obtained by CT and scintigraphic volumetry.
Conclusion:
Scintigraphic volumetry data are similar to those of CT volumetry in evaluation of future remnant liver volume. Scintigraphic volumetry may be used as an alternative in assessment of future remnant liver volume after advanced hepatic resections.

Computed Tomography
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...
