Liver scanning.

The value of liver scanning.

Scanning electron microscopy of human liver sinusoids.

Hepatic sinusoids of human liver samples obtained by surgical or needle biopsy were examined under the scanning and transmission electron microscopes (SEM and TEM). The surgically obtained tissues were perfused, by the use of a needle and syringe, with Ringer solution and successively with glutaraldehyde solution through the cut ends of blood vessels, while the needle biopsy pieces were perfuse...

Liver volume estimation using ultrasound scanning.

Radioisotope scanning in auxiliary liver transplantation.

The same general techniques were used in both the canine and human studies. Intravenously administered rose bengal 1131 was administered to dogs in a dose of 50 microcuries and to patients in a dose of 150 microcuries; scans were obtained at 5 minutes. In the canine experiments employing gold, 50 microcuries of Aulg8 were used with scanning at 15 minutes; in 2 adult human beings 200 microcuries...

Scintigraphy, Ultrasound and CT Scanning of the Liver , 12

Isotope examination of the liver depends on the functional activity of the liver phagocytes, while ultrasound and CT scanning display the anatomical structure. Cold areas on an isotope scan may be due to impaired function or space-occupying lesions. The method is nonspecific and does not differentiate between cysts, abscesses and metastases. Both ultrasound and CT scanning can differentiate spa...
