Postoperative course of recipients` graft volume and function. Development of a graft volume and b graft function calculated from hepatobiliary scintigraphy (HBS) at baseline (transplantation) and before completion hepatectomy. Summed HBS images after i.v. injection of 99mTc-mebrofenin and corresponding time-activity curve of c recipient 1 at transplantation and d before removal of the native right liver and e recipient 2 at transplantation and f before removal of the native right liver. Regions of interest were drawn around the native liver and liver graft (red line), the liver graft alone (yellow line) and the heart defined as blood pool (green line). The second green line represents the blood pool fit; the blue line shows the total counts
