Vicarious visualization of gall bladder on Tc-99m ethylene dicysteine renal dynamic study

Indian J Nucl Med. 2012 Oct;27(4):257-8. doi: 10.4103/0972-3919.115400.

Abstract

Though the hepatobiliary excretion of Technetium-99m ethylene dicysteine (99mTc-EC) is very low and usually does not effect image interpretation on routine posterior imaging, the possibility of visualization of the gall bladder should be kept in mind while reporting the 99mTc-EC scan especially, when anterior imaging is performed as in renal transplant patients.

Keywords: Gall bladder; technetium-99m ethylene dicysteine; vicarious visualization.
