    Summary

    Routine visualization of the inferior vena cava (I.V.C.) during hepatosplenic scintigraphy can provide valuable diagnostic information. This report details four cases where I.V.C. imaging during injection yielded significant findings.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Nuclear Medicine
    • Diagnostic Radiology

    Background:

    • Hepatosplenic scintigraphy is a common nuclear medicine procedure.
    • The inferior vena cava (I.V.C.) is a major vein not typically the primary focus during this imaging modality.

    Observation:

    • The study observed incidental findings during the injection phase of hepatosplenic scintigraphy.
    • Visualization of the I.V.C. was performed routinely at the time of radiotracer injection.

    Findings:

    • Four distinct cases are presented where routine I.V.C. visualization during hepatosplenic scintigraphy provided clinically relevant information.
    • These findings highlight the potential diagnostic utility of observing the I.V.C. during the injection process.

    Implications:

    • Routine visualization of the I.V.C. during hepatosplenic scintigraphy may enhance diagnostic yield.
    • This practice could lead to the early detection of unexpected pathologies affecting the I.V.C. or related structures.
