Abstract
Abnormal uptake of TI-201 chloride in the liver along with correlative radiologic imaging is presented in an unusual case of an 11-year-old boy with a small 2.1 cm hepatocellular carcinoma. Although planar TI-2 01 images were normal, triple-headed SPECT TI-201 images showed a foca l area of increased liver activity at the site of the tumor which corr esponded to a photopenic area on Tc-99m SC SPECT images. The patient s uccessfully underwent partial liver resection of a pathologically prov en hepatocellular carcinoma.
