Liver Colloid Scan in Hyderabad

What Is a Liver Colloid Scan?

A Liver Colloid Scan is a nuclear medicine imaging test that evaluates the distribution of radiotracer uptake in the liver and spleen. A specialised gamma camera captures images after a radiotracer is administered, helping doctors assess the reticuloendothelial system and investigate selected liver conditions.

Why Is a Liver Colloid Scan Recommended?

• To assess the distribution of radiotracer uptake in the liver and spleen.
• To investigate selected liver abnormalities when clinically indicated.
• To evaluate the size, shape and functional distribution of hepatic tissue.
• To provide additional diagnostic information alongside other imaging tests and clinical findings.

How Is the Test Performed?

A radiotracer is administered according to the nuclear medicine protocol. The tracer is taken up by specialised cells in the liver and spleen. A gamma camera then captures images to assess its distribution. The procedure and imaging time depend on the prescribed protocol.

Preparation for a Liver Colloid Scan

• Follow the 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.
