Nuclear Medicine • Liver Scan

This examination is performed to assess the liver and it's architecture. No prep is necessary for this study.

After registering at the outpatient desk, a technologist will come and get you for your study. They will take a brief history in order to insure an optimal examination. Subsequently, you will receive an intravenous injection of a medicine (radionuclide). After a few minutes, images will be obtained with you lying on a table and a camera placed over the liver. It takes approximately 45 minutes to acquire the images and then the study is complete. The technologist will then escort you back to the lobby.
