[Radionuclide study of liver hemodynamics]
Abstract:
A new method for processing the results of radionuclide studies on the liver blood circulation was proposed. It permitted assessing the state of the liver vascular network by a system of indicators having a specific physiological meaning: the ratio of functioning volumes of the vascular bed of the arterial and portal systems, the general, arterial and portal liver blood circulation in cardiac output fractions. The application of the method to radionuclide studies on the liver blood circulation in 5 healthy persons and 15 patients with metastatic liver lesions showed its efficacy and clinicodiagnostic significance.
