  • Title: Specific diagnosis of hepatoma using 99mTc-HIDA and other radionuclides.
    Author: Lee VW, Shapiro JH.
    Journal: Eur J Nucl Med; 1983; 8(5):191-5. PubMed ID: 6307698.
    Abstract:
    The difficulty of clinical and radiographical diagnosis of hepatoma is discussed. A case of hepatoma is reported. Both the primary tumor and distant metastases showed strong avidity for 99mTc-HIDA, which normally is concentrated by parenchymal cells of the liver. The potential of using 99mTc-HIDA for the noninvasive investigation of patients suspected of having hepatoma is discussed. The association between tumor avidity for 99mTc-HIDA and the bile-forming ability of tumor cells is of interest.
