Liver Blood Pool Scan (RBCS) in Hyderabad

What Is a Liver Blood Pool Scan (RBCS)?

A Liver Blood Pool Scan is a nuclear medicine imaging examination that evaluates blood-pool activity in the liver using radiolabelled red blood cells and a specialised gamma camera. It may be used to investigate selected liver lesions and vascular abnormalities, depending on the clinical indication.

Why Is a Liver Blood Pool Scan Recommended?

• To assess blood-pool activity within selected liver lesions.
• To help characterise suspected hepatic haemangiomas when clinically indicated.
• To evaluate blood distribution in the liver as part of a specialised diagnostic assessment.
• To provide additional information alongside ultrasound, CT, MRI and other investigations.

How Is the Test Performed?

A blood sample is collected and labelled with a suitable radioactive tracer according to the nuclear medicine protocol. The labelled red blood cells are administered, and a gamma camera captures images of the liver over a specified period. A specialist interprets the findings alongside other clinical and imaging information.

Preparation for the Scan

• Follow the preparation instructions provided by the nuclear medicine team.
• Inform your doctor about your medical history and current medications.
• Tell the medical team if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Bring previous liver imaging reports and relevant medical records if available.
