[The role of nuclear medicine methods in the differential diagnosis of focal liver lesions].

In a retrospective study of 160 patients who were examined within 12 months, we analysed the diagnostic value of scintigraphic techniques in the differential diagnosis of solid focal liver lesions. Haemangiomas were found in 77 patients. Bloodpool scintigraphy was true-positive in 66 (sensitivity 85%); for lesions greater than 2 cm in diameter, sensitivity increased to 94%. Metastases of CEA-expressing tumors were found in 42 patients, anti-CEA-immunoscintigraphy was true-positive in 33 patients (sensitivity 78.5%). Focal nodulary hyperplasia was found in 3 patients, adenomas in 6 patients. In the remaining 32 patients we saw 4 hepatocellular carcinomas, 28 metastases from lung and breast cancer, 2 echinococcus cysts and 1 choledochus cyst.

[The value of sonography in the diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism].

In this paper we discuss the diagnostic value of ultrasound and fine needle biopsy in cases of primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism. The broad availability of ultrasound and increased number of thyroid-sonographies leads to earlier detection of parathyroid nodules.

[Sonographic detection of a wood splinter in the small intestine--a case report].

We report on a case of sonographic detection of a foreign body (wooden splinter) in the abdomen with covered perforation of the jejunum. The patient did not know about the existence of that foreign body. We found out later that this splinter must have been in the abdomen for more than two years without any symptoms. A few weeks ago he felt an increasingly sharp pain in that area--probably at the time the perforation of the jejunum took place.

[Sonographic study of the liver, gallbladder and bile ducts].

Most diseases of the liver and gallbladder can be sufficiently diagnosed by ultrasound. Therefore, other useless methods can be eliminated and the further procedure of examination is a lot faster and more specific. Ultrasound cannot only give you exact informations about liver-size, consistency and shape, also structural changes of the liver parenchyma and all 3 tubular systems (bile-duct, liver veins and portal vein) can be examined. So far, no other method provided such a great deal of information about the liver-gall-system with such little effort. Therefore ultrasound should be used as the first screening method for all abdominal problems.
