Overview
Radionucleide Scanning
- Other diagnostic studies include radionuclide scans.[1]
- 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.
