Abstract
Whereas normal liver and spleen scintiphotos with 99mTc- tin colloid are characterized by homogenous distribution of radiocolloid in the liver and slight uptake of radiotracer over the spleen in the anterior view, this report demonstrates that there is high radiotracer uptake in the spleen and slight uptake in the posterior view in a case of situs invertus.
