Radiocolloid liver imaging in hepatic steatosis
Journal Article
·
· Clin. Nucl. Med.; (United States)
In a review of 60 patients with fatty infiltration of the liver documented by Xe-133 imaging, 43% had normal radiocolloid liver images, and 57% had abnormal images with various combinations of hepatomegaly, mottling, splenomegaly, and splenic shift of radioactivity. None, however, showed focal defects. Fatty infiltrates do not simulate mass lesions on the radiocolloid study of the liver, and an area of photon deficiency in the presence of hepatic steatosis points to an additional pathologic process. The interpretation of the radiocolloid liver image is unhindered by fatty infiltration when searching for discrete space-occupying lesions.
