Results Figure 1 shows a normal liver. In comparing the supine and upright views, note the
variation in shape and apparent size of the liver because of its pliability. In the supine view …

Standing scintiphoto views of the liver may provide improved visualization as compared with
conventional supine liver images. This is partially due to decreased respiratory motion of the …

Different techniques to obtain the most accurate and reliable method of proper patient
positioning for hepatic scintiangiograms were investigated by this clinic. Neither the sole use …

Using a scintillation camera, lateral views of the liver may be obtained with the patient in
positions other than the left lateral decubitus required for rectilinear imaging. The use of the …

For this study, the authors obtained and examined anterior views of the liver and spleen in
two different positions, upright and supine, of 39 normal subjects and 20 patients with …
