Background/Purpose: To compare the results of 99mTc-Mebrofenin SPECT/CT volumetry and CT volumetry after portal vein occlusion techniques i.e. portal vein embolization (PVE), portal vein ligation (PVL) prior to extended liver resections. Patients/Methods: Between March 2011 and February 2012 fifteen patients presenting with primary or secondary liver tumors were included. The estimated future liver remnant volume (FLRV) of these patients after the planned extended hepatectomy measured with CT-volumetry was less than 30 (normal liver), or 40% (cirrhosis). To increase the FLRV portal vein occlusion techniques (13…
