To evaluate the clinical value of portal-systemic shunt by the study on apiece time H/L ratio imaging in hepatocirrhosis

administration of Tcm-MIBI per rectum was performed in 10 healthy subjects and 36 patients with 99 cirrhosis by calculating H/L ratio and SI within 7 periods in 15—240 min to analyze the degree of hepatocirrhosis as- sociated with portal-systemic shunt. We have found that there is a marked difference between the H/L ratios of the control group and of the hepatocirrhosis group A

and there is a good cor- relation between H / L ratio and SI ( r = 0.926

P < 0.001 ) . It is concluded that this is a safe method for evaluating portal-systemic shunt and thus helping obtain diagnostic index by estimating the degree of hepatocirrhosis and portal tension.
