Hepatocholecystoscintigraphy

Hepatocholecystoscintigraphy is a method for diagnosing diseases of the liver and biliary tract. It allows you to determine the condition of these organs, as well as identify the presence of gallstones and other pathologies.

To perform hepatocholecystoscintigraphy, the patient is injected with a radioactive substance that accumulates in the liver and gall bladder. Then a scan is carried out, during which special equipment displays the levels of accumulation of radioactive substances in the organs.

Based on the scan results, the doctor can determine the presence or absence of gallstones, as well as assess the condition of the liver and its functionality. If there is a suspicion of the presence of other diseases, then hepatocholecystoscintigraphy can be combined with other diagnostic methods, such as ultrasound, MRI or CT.

Hepatocholecystoscintigraphy has no contraindications and can be performed on both adults and children. It is safe for health and does not cause any side effects.

Thus, hepatocholecystoscintigraphy is an effective method for diagnosing diseases of the liver and gallbladder, which allows you to identify the presence of stones, assess the functionality of the liver and identify other diseases.

**Hepatocholecystsothyreography.** Gastroenterobiliary insufficiency can lead to syndrome X or cholelithiasis. These diseases are associated with functional impairment, which manifests itself in abnormal changes in gastrointestinal motility. Hepatocholithotherapy is a diagnostic method aimed at detecting pathological changes in the liver and its ducts. It consists of one or more techniques to visualize the liver ducts, which are free of stones.

**Imaging and treatment method.** The imaging method allows you to find the presence or absence of a stone in the bile duct, as well as determine its size and location. The most widely used technique is the scintioreflex technique, which involves the patient receiving an injection of a radioactive drug, which then accumulates in the ducts; after that it is in a state of rest. Because stones are made of minerals, they remain immobile and can be detected using X-rays. The results are displayed graphically.

The duration of the study is 60-90 minutes. In addition to physiological changes, it is necessary to take into account the degree of discomfort experienced by the patient

If necessary, a double x-ray examination can be carried out, which consists of the introduction of two radioisotopes, which allow us to obtain a more detailed picture of the gall bladder lining. In some cases, a combined scan is performed - a combination of scintography and endoscopic examination. This method consists of examining the ducts using an inserted needle probe. It is given to the patient, usually through the mouth; during the procedure he does not experience any obvious discomfort. The advantages of the method are the small amount
