Core Tip

Core tip: This study describes that lobular differences in tracer accumulation can be observed even in patients with an apparently homogeneous liver on ^99mTc-galactosyl human serum albumin (^99mTc-GSA) single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). computed tomography/^99mTc-GSA SPECT fusion images demonstrated that the function of the left lobe was significantly decreased compared with that of the right lobe in non-cirrhotic livers.
