[Polyposition hepatoscintigraphy in the diagnosis of liver metastases]

The examination of 308 patients with oncological lesions has shown that polyposition hepatoscintigraphy with a colloid solution Tc--99m improves the diagnosis of metastatic invasion of the liver by 17.8% compared with the routine one-projection hepatoscintigraphy. Some errors which are likely to arise in interpreting the lateral and posterior hepatoscintigrams are described.
