Hepatic imaging: a comparison of Tc-99m-sulfur colloid and PIPIDA in the detection of defects
Description
A prospective investigation comparing Tc-99m-PIPIDA with Tc-99m-sulfur colloid in the detection of defects of the liver was carried out in 30 volunteers. By acquiring images of 1 million counts from 5 to 10 minutes postinjection, high quality hepatic images could be obtained with PIPIDA. Separate interpretations by three nuclear physicians yielded similar results between paired PIPIDA and sulfur colloid studies (KAV = 0.95 +- .09, P less than 0.001). Early multiview imaging of the liver in the course of hepatobiliary evaluation with PIPIDA may yield valuable information relative to the presence of lesions
