Growing hepatic cavernous hemangioma demonstrated by Tc-99m red blood cell scintigraphy.

abstract：PURPOSE:This study was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of technetium-99m N,N-ethylenedicysteine (Tc-99m EC) in comparison to technetium-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (Tc-99m DMSA) scintigraphy. Differential renal function (DRF) was calculated by both methods and the cortical-phase images of dynamic Tc-99m EC scin...
