Table 3. Correlations between the radiological functional liver reserve and liver volume.

*p<0.05, **p<0.01

HH15: heart count ratio after 15 min compared to after 3 min; LHL15: ratio of liver count to the sum of heart and liver count after 15 min; LU15: cumulative liver uptake of the tracer from 15 to 16 minutes after injection of 99mTc-GSA; 99mTc-GSA: technetium-99m-galactosyl serum albumin
