“…In cornparkon with other diagnostic techniques, the easiest figures to obtain are those comparing scanning with biochemical estimates of liver function and in all cases the scan is easily superior in both primary and secondary space occupying lesions (Jhingren et al, 1971;Smith et al, 1968) although liver function tests are probably superior in the diagnosis of hepatocellular damage. An interesting study from Finland (LiewendaN et al, 1972) does however demonstrate that the addition of scanning to biochemical tests greatly increases the discriminatory capacity between normal and abnormal.…”

Summary Radionuclide scanning of the liver is both sensitive and non‐traumatic and has become a widely accepted method of investigation of the hepatobiliary system. It is essential to understand the anatomical, physiological and pathological basis of liver scanning using various techniques and radiopharmaceuticals. This paper reviews the methodology and results in light of both literature and personal experience.
