    Author: Lunia S, Parthasarathy KL, Bakshi S, Bender MA.
    Journal: J Nucl Med; 1975 Jan; 16(1):62-5. PubMed ID: 1110406.
    Abstract:
    To determine the clinical usefulness of liver scintiscanning in detecting metastatic disease of the liver, 1,424 liver studies performed on 1,115 patients were reviewed along with their charts. Five hundred eighty-one patients had histopathological evaluation by needle biopsy of the liver, laparotomy, and/or autopsy within a mean period of 40 days of liver scan. The histopatholigical findings were correlated with the liver sicntiscan findings and the latter gave an overall accuracy of 77.3%.
