Radionucleide Scanning

• Other diagnostic studies include radionuclide scans.
• These hepatic scans use technetium, indium or gallium where there is localized uptake of the material.
• They can detect lesions <2cm in size.
• These scans cannot distinguish between the cyst, tumor, or abscess and need confirmation with other diagnostic tests.
