【 摘 要 】

In cardiac nuclear imaging, the liver is mostly remembered as a source of artifact in the left ventricular inferior wall. However, the liver may eventually display unexpected findings, which draw attention to significant noncardiac disease. In a patient referred for myocardial perfusion SPECT to investigate atypical chest pain, focal areas of increased tracer uptake revealed intrahepatic biliary dilatation.
