동맥혈화지표 ( Arterialization Index ) 를 이용한 간경화증의 혈류측정 = Dynamic Hepatic Blood Flow Scan of Liver Cirrhosis by Arterialization Index

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to develop a method by which the sensitivity of radionuclide liver imaging for detection of liver cirrhosis could be enhanced. Dynamic blood flow scan were performed 21 cases of liver cirrhosis patients by using computerized gamma camera named arterialization index. The results were as follows: 1) Aterialization index were higher in liver cirrhosis comparing to normal value 0.33 and its mean is 2.02. 2) Comparing to static liver scan, higher sensitivity in dynamic hepatic blood flow scan for detection of liver cirrhosis. Sensitivity for detection of liver cirrhosis is over 90%. 3) There are no correlation between arterialization index and serum albumin level. The use of hepatic dynamic blood flow scan proved effective in detection of liver cirrhois. However, the test may be used as an aid in distinguishing between normal and pathologic livers.
