  • Title: The sensitivity and specificity of 99mTc-sulfur colloid liver imaging in diffuse hepatocellular disease.
    Author: Geslien GE, Pinsky SM, Poth RK, Johnson MC.
    Journal: Radiology; 1976 Jan; 118(1):115-9. PubMed ID: 1244641.
    Abstract:
    The sensitivity and specificity of 99mTc-sulfur colloid liver-spleen imaging in diffuse hepatocellular disease and the significance of image patterns found in these diseases are presented. By visually quantifying the image alterations found in biopsy-proven cases of diffuse hepatocellular disease and analyzing the correlation between the histological diagnosis and the quantified image alteration (individually and by groups), the 99mTc-sulfur colloid liver-spleen image was found to be highly sensitive (83%). Relative discriminatory values were derived for each image finding and a specific image pattern was found in cirrhosis.
