[Radioisotope diagnosis of the hepatic changes in biliary tract diseases]

The authors analyze the application of the radioisotopic method for examining the liver in 413 patients; with acute cholecystitis (97), chronic cholecystitis (195), chronic pancreatitis (12) and cirrhosis of the liver (109). The scanning and functional investigations of the liver allowed detection of substantial disorders in the functional state of the liver in patients with acute cholecystitis and obturation jaundice which suggests a necessary correction of the liver function in the pre- and postoperative periods.
