Combined liver-lung scanning has proven to be an extremely rapid and useful tool in the diagnosis and localisation of sub-phrenic abscess and differentiation of basal defects of the right lung. There is little discomfort to the patient who may be experiencing considerable chest pain. The patient spends less than 20 minutes in the nuclear medicine department. The results are quickly obtained, no complex mathematical analyses are needed, and the images are easily interpreted.
