[Determination of colloid concentration in static liver scintigrams - clinical applications]

This prospective study of a large number of patients demonstrates the clinical possibilities of impulse densitometric evaluation of colloid concentration in static liver scintigraphy. In addition to interobserver variation and intrapersonal reproducibility the demarcation between normal and cirrhotic livers and the relationship of impulse densitometry to clinical and blood parameters are described. Case studies show the potential advantages for routine diagnostics.
