Abstract
The primary purpose of scintigraphic liver imaging includes tissue-specifi c characterization of hepatic lesions, evaluation of functional liver mass, and evaluation of hepatobiliary function. Advances in instrumentation, e.g., the use of single- photon emission computed tomography/xray computed tomography (SPECT/CT), use of pharmacological interventions in conjunction with cholescintigraphy, and development of new radiopharmaceuticals have signifi cantly improved the effi cacy of scintigraphic imaging with expanded clinical applications.
