Abstract
The technique of scintigraphy of the liver is presented by two case ex amples of dogs with portosystemic shunts. (99m) technetium-pertechneta te was used as a marker. Comparison of velocity and height of the acti vity reaching liver and heart and lung allows a statement about the ex istence of a portosystemic shunt.
