• We performed the comparison of liver scintigram using radioactive technetium heptasulfide (99mTe) -colloid with that using radioactive gold (198Au) -colloid against the cases where remarkable alteration or variation was observed at the time of operation, biopsy or autopsy. Fifty percent of entire cases reflected well patho-morphism alteration when 198Au-colloid was used. While, it was 54%, when 99mTc2S7-colloid was employed. On the other hand, the rate of erroneous diagnosis was 8% in the former case, and in the latter, it was 3.8%. Both types of liver scintigrams are more effective in order for observing constitution, shape, splenic shadow and blood clearance (Kv) . And, any significant difference of effects was not marked between these two types of liver scintigrams. However, in the respect of dose, 99mTc2S7-colloid is more advantageous than 198Au-colloid, since it produces sharp scintigram with much less radiation dose.
