The part played by 99Tc liver scintiscanning and laparoscopy, singly or sequentially, in the diagnosis of hepatic nodular disease was examined in a series of 316 patients. It was found that sequential employment of these two methods constituted a good diagnostic approach, since the relative sensitivity of the first could be added to the relative specificity of the second.
