Abstract

A 25-year-old miner was admitted with an acute abdomen and marked pallor following a crush injury to the abdomen. CT showed an irregular, patchy appearance of the posterosuperior portion of the liver with a coefficient of density appreciably less than the rest of the liver, consistent with the presence of a hepatic hematoma. The patient was treated conservatively. During the two weeks that followed, fluid accumulated in the peritoneal cavity. At laparotomy, a large volume of bile- and blood-stained fluid was found in the peritoneal cavity. Tc-99m DISIDA imaging was done after laparotomy.

Abstract

Patients were referred to the Department of Nuclear Medicine for brain scintigraphy to be screened for possible intracranial pathology. These referrals were made in order to reduce the heavy load on the transmission computerized tomography (TCT) facilities. Great clinical importance, therefore, has been attached to scintigraphic findings; this emphasizes the need for an accurate assessment of the predictive value of this procedure.
