A nonsacrificial technique for measurement of liver perfusion in rats using Tc-99m sulfur colloid and gamma camera with computer system is described. The results of measurement in normal rats and at various stages after partial hepatectomy are presented and are compared with results obtained by workers using other techniques. The method reported here is simpler to perform than those previously reported and has the additional advantage that frequent sequential determinations of liver perfusion can be made.
