Description

A new method of image processing from a Tc-99m-dimethyl iminodiacetic acid (HIDA) scan is described in the study of regional hepatic function in patients and may be used to differentiate between obstructive and hepatocellular jaundice. processing systems; neither complex mathematics nor special algorithms are required. The images are presented with a special two-colour display scale. The functional images clearly demonstrate regional movement of tracer. A few such images satisfactorily represent the whole HIDA study and present the information in a concise and clear manner. (U.K.)
