Abstract
The results obtained in 62 patients in whom liver blood pool was scinti-scanned after injection of 113mIn as an in vivo transferrin label and blood pool marker are presented. This procedure is always performed to investigate further any intrahepatic space-occupying lesion previously discovered by colloidal liver scanning. Classification of the lesions was based on the state of their blood pools as compared with that of the normal surrounding liver tissue. No blood pool was found in cysts and abscesses. A poor blood pool was found in a large number of metastatic liver lesions. A pool similar to that in normal tissue was found in two of three hepatomas. A pool larger than normal was observed in all seven of the patients with liver hemangiomas. Hepatic blood pool imaging is an atraumatic technique that adds specific diagnostic information to that obtained from the usual colloid scan.
