Abstract
A retrospective study of 101 patients with histologically confirmed cirrhosis of the liver and portal hypertension was carried out in order to evaluate the accepted scintigraphic criteria. In only 20% were all the essential criteria present. The absence of generally accepted important scintigraphic signs does not exclude the diagnosis of cirrhosis of the liver. Specificity of liver scintigraphy in cirrhosis of the liver is fairly low, but sensitivity of the method is almost 100%.
