Clearance of the liver remnant predicts short-term outcome in patients undergoing resection of hepatocellular carcinoma

Figure 1 Schematic model for analysis of regional hepatic clearance with computed tomography fusion images. The images of ^99mTc-galactosyl serum albumin scintigraphy single photon emission computed tomography and computed tomography scans were merged using software. The cutting line was set based on tumor location and size on each fusion image. The liver function was calculated automatically as ^99mTc-galactosyl serum albumin scintigraphy parameters. CT: Computed tomography; SPECT: Single photon emission computed tomography.
