The liver scintigraphy is nowadays widely accepted as one of the versatile techniques for figure out of the morbid morphology of the liver.
However, it is important to note that the liver is one of the most well recognized visceral organs which reveals various anatomical dislocation and distorsion of the contour being effected by compression from adjacent visceral organs and tissues.
Based on these facts, the diagnosis on the basis of the liver scintigraphy only sometimes leads to the misdiagnosis.
For correcting this pitfall, the author has performed simultaneous application of 0 Plain X ray study, 0 Gastrointestinal study, R Angiographic study and pneumo-peritoneography. The pneumo-peritoneography has performed in 43 cases.
It is concluded the simultaneous application of the above-mentioned techniques as well as the scintigraphic study give much precised diagnostic results.
Moreover, the application of the pneumo-peritoneography to the scintigraphic study gives much better results. The clinical importance of these supplementary methods in applying the scintigraphic study of the liver was described in this communication in full detail.
