“…The reason why " m Tc colloid accumulates in the lungs during liver scanning is not known. Several possible mechanisms have been proposed like macroaggregation of the injected colloid or deposition of fibrin and fibrin degradation products in the capillaries of the lung (1,2,4,12), and activation of the reticuloendothelial system (5-7, 9, 10).…”

Summary 99mTc tin colloid accumulated in the lungs in 102 patients during liver imaging both in malignant and benign diseases. The percentage of neoplastic diseases increased when the lung uptake became greater and only patients with malignant final diagnosis had marked lung uptake. Abnormal liver image was seen only in 23%, which disagrees highly with some earlier findings on a rather small number of patients. The cause of increased lung uptake was suggested to be the activation of the reticuloendothelial system (RES) by disease. The activation of the RES was stronger in malignant than in benign diseases. Some type of regional stimulation of the RES was suggested as being due to the location of the disease and both malignant and benign diseases of the chest region stimulated the pulmonary part of the RES more than other parts of the RES.

“…MATERIAL The basic data for this review were provided by the patient scanning records at the Royal Marsden Hospitals, London andSurrey, between November, 1966 andSeptember, 1971. During this period, the hepatic scanning agent was a 99Tc m sulphur colloid (French, 1969).…”

The case histories of 3,500 patients who received a rectilinear liver scan or gamma-camera liver scintigram were reviewed to locate those who subsequently died and received a post-mortem and those who were referred for surgery after the isotope investigation. The 125 scans and scintigrams of the proven normal livers were then used to classify variations in normal liver shape. The classifications were based upon the shapes of the superior and inferior liver margins. A table was constructed to describe the incidence of normal liver shapes in terms of these margins. The most frequently occurring shapes were found to be S-shape (45| per cent) and concave (32 per cent) for the superior border and triangular (71 per cent) for the inferior border.

A method, introduced by the authors, for assessment of the extent of bone marrow haemopoietic activity in normal subjects is reported. 99mTc-sulfur colloid is injected, and the bone marrow visualized on gamma camera, type Phogamma-HP, which is equipped with 4096 channel analyzer (Nuclear Chicago). By use of a standard and by registering the activity in "zones of interest" from the arm, forearm, thigh and lower leg bones, indices and mean normal values in 26 normal subjects were calculated and reported.
