Abstract		Haemangiomas of the liver are vascular deformities, usually found accidentally at the liver ultrasound examination. Because of the same appearance as metastases, such lesion needs to be diagnostically defined. SPECT scintigraphy is the method of choice. In our study we compared the number of lesions identified by ultrasound in particular patient to the number of them identified by SPECT. According to our research Ihe persistence of more lesions raised the probability for haemangiomas. SPECT is highly specific for lesions larger than 2 centimetres, moderate specific for lesions larger than 1 centimetre and non-diagnostic for smaller ones. The planar imaging is not recommended for this purpose.
