[Detection of focal hepatic lesions by ultrasound and radionuclear studies].

Sonographic and radionuclear studies of the liver were performed in 68 patients admitted for suspected hepatic lesions. In 58 (85%) both studies gave similar findings. In 29 further investigations were required for accurate diagnosis. The ultrasonographic study was accurate in 97% and the radionuclear study in 72% while the two studies together achieved an accuracy of 89%. Sonographic study of the liver may in some cases indicate the consistency of the lesion (solid or fluid filled), which is of great clinical importance. However, hepatic nuclear scan is simple and available in most medical centers, making it the procedure of choice for evaluating space-occupying lesions of the liver.
