A sequential scintigraphic technique for the evaluation of liver and spleen granulopexic function is described. The spleno-hepatic uptake index revealed by computerised scintiscanning proved a reliable indicator of moderate and especially severe diffuse hepatopathy. The test is quickly and easily performed and is also practical since it uses the same radioactive bolus injected for static scintigraphy.
