Quantitative index calculated by (99m)Tc-GSA scintigraphy.
(99m)Tc-galactosyl human serum albumin (GSA) scintigraphy is useful to evaluate hepatic function and hepatic functional reserve. A reliable SPECT and CT integrated system is now commercially available. Using this system, we can obtain (99m)Tc-GSA SPECT/CT fused imaging with a small registration error. Therefore, the (99m)Tc-GSA scintigraphy techniques prove more useful in clinical practice than...
متن کاملPreoperative assessment of postoperative remnant liver function using hepatobiliary scintigraphy.
UNLABELLED Hepatic resection is the therapy of choice for malignant and symptomatic benign hepatobiliary tumors. The concept of remnant liver volume (RLV) has been introduced and can be assessed with CT. However, inhomogeneous liver function distribution and a lack of correlation between morphologic hypertrophy and functional recovery fuelled the enthusiasm for functional imaging. The aim of th...
متن کاملClinical need for both scintigraphy with technetium-99m GSA and per-rectal portal scintigraphy in some patients with chronic liver disease.
Scintigraphy with 99mTc-diethylenetriaminepentaacetate with galactosyl human serum albumin (99mTc-GSA) and per-rectal portal scintigraphy are useful for evaluating hepatic functional reserve and portal circulation, respectively. We did the procedures simultaneously in some patients to examine the relationship between hepatic functional reserve and portal circulation in chronic liver disease. Sc...
متن کامل99mTc-GSA scintigraphy with SPECT for assessment of hepatic function and functional volume during liver regeneration in a rat model of partial hepatectomy.
UNLABELLED Small-animal models are crucial to gain insights in the complex recovery mechanisms of liver function during liver regeneration. (99m)Tc-Mebrofenin hepatobiliary scintigraphy (HBS) has been introduced for noninvasive assessment of liver function in the clinical setting as well as in experimental research. However, HBS is restricted to planar modalities in small animals because hepati...
متن کاملComparison of Tc-99m-GSA scintigraphy with hepatic fibrosis and regeneration in patients with hepatectomy.
OBJECTIVE Liver regeneration after hepatectomy is correlated with liver fibrosis. Retrospectively, we compared three quantitative indices (HH15, LHL15 and LU15) of Technetium-99m-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid-galactosyl-human serum albumin (Tc-99m-GSA) liver scintigraphy with liver fibrosis; in particular, we compared the HH15 index and the rate of remnant liver regeneration. METHODS Fif...
