Abstract
The aim of clinical radioisotope procedures is to yield data concerning both structure and function. The following approaches to radioisotope evaluation of the liver are outlined: 1. Estimation of hepatic size and weight (from the scan and by other means) and comparison with the weight predicted by the allometric equation. 2. Measurement of the degree of homogeneity of uptake by computer processing. 3. Computer correction for: use of short-lived radioisotopes (radiation dose being minimal, studies can potentially be extended to children and pregnant women) ; simultaneous use of two radioisotopes to examine both parenchymalcell and reticuloendothelial function; and rapid entry to, and discharge from, the liver.
