Summary

Liver scans were performed in 188 patients with metastatic or primary liver tumour, echinococcus cysts or hydrops of the gallbladder. The photoscans were positive in 96.2% of the cases with primary tumours and in 40 out of 47 patients with expected metastatic liver tumours. Correct interpretation was made in 97.4% of the liver echinococcus cysts and in 50% of patients with gallbladder hydrops.

Renal scans were performed in 35 patients and diagnosis was confirmed by surgery. Of the 35 patients 21 had a tumour and 14 cysts. The scans were positive in 91.4%.

Des scans du foie ont été faits chez 188 malades affectés de tumeurs du foie metastatiques ou primaires, de cystes d’échinococcose et d’Hydropisie de la vésicule biliaire. Les photoscans étaient positifs dans 96,2% des cas de tumeurs primaires et chez 40 des 47 malades éxaminés avec des tumeurs métastatiques du foie soupçonnées. Des interprétations correctes ont été obtenues dans 97,4% des cas de cystes d’échinococcose du foie et dans 50% des cas d’hydropisie de la vésicule biliaire.

Des scans rénaux ont été faits chez 35 malades et le diagnostic a été confirmé par l’opération. 21 des 35 malades avaient une tumeur et 14 des cystes.

Les scans étaient positifs dans 91,4% des cas.

Bei 188 Patienten mit metastatischen oder primären Lebertumoren, Echinokokkus-Zysten und Hydropisie der Gallenblase wurden Leberscans gemacht. In den Fällen von primären Tumoren waren die Photoscans bei 96,2% positiv, bei den Patienten mit Verdacht auf metastatische Lebertumoren bei 40 von den 47 untersuchten Fällen. Eine korrekte Interpretation erfolgte in 97,4% der Fälle bei Echinokokkus-Zysten der Leber und in 50% der Fälle bei Hydropisie der Gallenblase.

Nierenscans wurden bei 35 Patienten ausgeführt und die Diagnose bei der Operation bestätigt. Von den 35 Patienten hatten 21 Tumoren und 14 Zysten.

Die Scans waren in 91,4% der Fälle positiv.
