    Author: Adám E, Kuba A, Bali I, Kalmár Nagy K, Csernay L.
    Journal: Orv Hetil; 1989 Feb 19; 130(8):401-3. PubMed ID: 2646575.
    Abstract:
    The hemangioma cavernosum is a frequent, benign tumor of the liver. Generally the hemangioma becomes suspected during the US examination as a secondary result. From the point of view of the differential diagnostics the three-phase blood-pool scintigraphy, a new very sensitive isotope diagnostic method, has a great importance in these cases. The images taken at the beginning, the early and the late-phase show the kind of alteration unambiguously. Since the conventional planar scintigraphy is not always able to detect the small (1-2 cm in diameter) lesions and the lesions surrounded by intact parenchyma, the SPECT has big advantage increasing the resolution of images and introducing the three-dimensional imaging. The authors illustrate the possibility of specific detection of liver hemangioma in a case by SPECT.
