✦ Synopsis

Liver-spleen scintigraphy is a useful adjunctive procedure in the diagnosis and staging of Hodgkin's disease. Scintigraphy is easily obtained for both the patient and the physician. It usually directs attention to a liver or spleen involved with the disease by revealing organomegaly with or without defects in concentration of radioactive colloid. The information may be diagnostic. Patients are presented who were studied with lymphangiography, diagnostic laparotomy with splenectomy, and liver-spleen scintigraphy among other tests for staging. The routine use of liver-spleen scintigraphy is recommended in the diagnosis and management of Hodgkin's disease.
