Area of Science:

  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Diagnostic Imaging
  • Hepatobiliary System

Background:

  • Hepatobiliary scintigraphy using (99m)Tc-labeled agents has been a cornerstone of clinical diagnosis for nearly four decades.
  • Despite its long history, the indications, methodologies, and interpretation criteria for this imaging study have continuously evolved.
  • It remains a highly demanded diagnostic tool in clinical practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art hepatobiliary scintigraphy methodology.
  • To detail current diagnostic criteria for a range of hepatobiliary and gallbladder disorders.
  • To emphasize the role of pharmacologic interventions, specifically sincalide, in diagnostic protocols.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature and clinical practices in hepatobiliary scintigraphy.
  • Focus on advanced imaging techniques and updated interpretative guidelines.
  • Integration of pharmacologic agents like sincalide to enhance diagnostic accuracy.

Main Results:

  • Established updated diagnostic criteria for acute cholecystitis and chronic acalculous gallbladder disease.
  • Defined current approaches for evaluating high-grade and partial biliary obstruction.
  • Provided insights into diagnosing postcholecystectomy pain syndrome, including sphincter-of-Oddi dysfunction and biliary atresia.

Conclusions:

  • Hepatobiliary scintigraphy remains a vital and evolving diagnostic modality.
  • State-of-the-art techniques and refined criteria improve the diagnosis of complex biliary conditions.
  • The judicious use of sincalide enhances the diagnostic utility of hepatobiliary scintigraphy.
