  • Title: Gray scale ultrasonic investigation of focal defects on 99Tc sulphur colloid liver scanning.
    Author: Garrett WJ, Kossoff G, Uren RF, Carpenter DA.
    Journal: Radiology; 1976 May; 119(2):425-8. PubMed ID: 178024.
    Abstract:
    Radionuclide liver scanning, though a well established technique for the detection of normal liver tissue replacement, has yet to deliver a satisfactory isotope method for distinguishing the benign or malignant nature of a disclosed nonfunctioning area. The solid or cystic nature of focal areas of replacement can be shown by ultrasonic echography, so the malignancy of the area can be inferred. The complementary use of both techniques is recommended.
