Scanning times may vary, depending on the specific radioisotope used. It most often begins within minutes after injection. The radionuclide scanner, sometimes called a gamma camera or scintillation camera, is positioned above the upper abdomen
The liver works by producing bile and removing toxins from the blood. It converts glycose into glycogen and even keeps your body core temperature at 27 degrees celsius. It works with the stomach, gallbladder, and small intestines. If your liver fails, toxins build up in your blood stream and you almost certainly die (without a transplant of course).
sonography, liver scan, ct scan, and biopsy
A liver scan is a diagnostic procedure to evaluate the liver for suspected disease. A radioactive substance which concentrates in the liver is injected intravenously and the image of its distribution in the body is analyzed to diagnose abnormalities.
A liver scan may also be helpful in diagnosing specific disorders, by detecting features which are characteristic of a disorder, such as cirrhosis of the liver. It may be part of the battery of tests used to evaluate candidates for liver transplant
A specialized liver scan used to assess blood flow is frequently used. It may be referred to as a radionuclide blood pool or volume study, a labeled red cell scintigram, or some combination of these terms. This test is called a liver-spleen scan
An abnormal liver scan may result from a mass. Depending on the radioisotope and technique used, the scan may identify particular types of tumors or certain cancers.
