Dynamic hepatic angioscintigraphy, a method of estimation and follow up of the double (arterial and portal) circulation in the liver, was performed in association with static liver scanning in 20 patients with suspicion of primary or secondary tumors of the liver, and in 5 healthy controls, after administration of 113min colloid. This procedure allowed confirmation of primary neoplastic tumors of the liver in 3 patients and of hepatic metastases in 5. The method supplies additional diagnostic information in malignant tumors of the liver and reduces the irradiation of the patients by using a single radiopreparation.
