Overview
Other Imaging Findings
- Nuclear Imaging may be helpful in the diagnosis of Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS. Findings on 99m Tc sulfur colloid scanning suggestive of Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) include:
- Sulfur colloid uptake technetium-99m (99mTc) is increased (ie, hot) in the caudate lobe when compared to the rest of the liver, in which uptake may be normal, reduced, absent, or patchy
- Colloid may shift to the spleen and bone marrow,
- Wedge-shaped focal peripheral defects are occasionally seen on imaging.
