Pre- and posttreatment hepatobiliary scintigraphy images of case 3. The pretreatment Gmean planar image (a) shows that 99mTc-mebrofenin is mainly taken up in the right hemiliver. Centrally, in the liver (segment 4), no uptake is seen, due to the presence of a large HCC (c). After treatment (Gmean planar (b), SPECT (d)), a decrease in total liver uptake is seen, primarily due to a decrease in uptake in the right hemiliver. The left hemiliver has hypertrophied slightly (b: red line, contouring the functional liver). On the SPECT images (c, d), the uptake in the left hemiliver is similar to the pretreatment image. The defect in the uptake in segment 4 remains, consistent with untreated segment 4 lesion (d)
