Overview
Other diagnostic studies include radionucleide scans which use technetium, indium, or gallium. They detect lesions <2 cm in size. These scans cannot distinguish between the cyst, tumor, or abscess and need confirmation with other diagnostic tests.[1]
Radionucleide Scanning
Other diagnostic studies include radionucleide scans.[1]
- These hepatic scans use technetium, indium, or gallium
- They can detect lesions < 2cm in size.
- These scans cannot distinguish between the cyst, tumor, or abscess and need confirmation with other diagnostic tests.
