HIDA Scan

HIDA: 

EXAM: HEPATOBILIARY SCAN     

REASON FOR EXAM:     

COMPARISON: None. 

 

TECHNIQUE: The patient had been NPO for more than 14 hours; sincalide (CCK analog) 1.5 mcg was given intravenously over 30 minutes to empty the gallbladder before starting the study. Following intravenous administration of Tc-99m mebrofenin     mCi, dynamic images of the abdomen in the anterior projection were obtained through     minutes. Additional static images were obtained at     hours. 

 

FINDINGS:  

 

Perfusion of the liver is normal. Extraction of tracer by the liver parenchyma is normal. Tracer appears promptly within the biliary tract. The gallbladder begins to fill by     minutes post-injection of tracer and fills adequately. Tracer is seen in the small bowel by     minutes.  

 

IMPRESSION:  

 

Normal hepatobiliary scan. No scintigraphic evidence of acute cholecystitis. 

Normal liver function. 

Patent biliary tract and outlet.
