99mTc-galactosyl human serum albumin (99mTc-GSA) is a newly developed receptor-binding agent specific for the asialoglycoprotein receptor, which resides exclusively on the plasma membrane of mammalian hepatocytes. Liver scintigraphy using 99mTc-GSA was performed on 13 patients with liver disease. Dynamic data were obtained by gamma camera during 40 min after the intravenous injection of 3 mg (185 MBq) of 99mTc-GSA.

The finding originated from herniated liver that migrated to the posterior thoracic wall as a result of gravity, to separate the hemothorax in the supine position.
