A Correlative Study of Water Delay Echography and Technetium Sulphur Colloid Radionuclide Scanning in Patients with Suspected Liver Disease

The reports of 58 patients who had water delay echography and sulphur colloid scintigraphy of the liver from July‐December, 1980, were evaluated and correlated. Scanning with ultrasound was shown to have greater sensitivity and specificity than that of sulphur colloid scintiscanning. When sonographic and scintigraphic findings were concordant diagnostic reliability was 97%.
