Technetium-99m labelled red blood cells scintigraphy and not iminodiacetic acid cholescintigraphy facilitates the discrimination of hepatic cirrhosis from fibrosis.

Our study although in a limited number of patients suggested that as opposed to (99m)Tc-MHS, scintigraphic evaluation by (99m)Tc-RBC could be useful in the discrimination of patients with liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and normal controls.
