Hepatoscanography

Hepatoscanning is a method that is used to diagnose liver diseases. It is based on the use of special radionuclides that are introduced into the patient’s body. The liver is then scanned using a gamma camera or other special equipment.

One of the most common hepatic scanning methods is computed tomography (CT). This method allows you to obtain a detailed image of the liver and its vessels, as well as determine the presence of tumors and other pathological changes.

Another hepatoscanning method is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This method uses magnetic fields and produces more accurate images of the liver than CT.

Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages. CT scans provide more detailed images but are less sensitive to fine detail. MRI, on the contrary, has greater sensitivity to small details, but less detailed images.

In addition, there are other hepatoscanning methods, such as ultrasound, radiography, etc. Each of them has its own advantages and limitations, and the choice of method depends on the specific clinical situation.

In general, hepatoscanning is an important method for diagnosing liver diseases, which allows the detection of tumors, cysts, abscesses, vascular abnormalities and other pathological changes. However, to obtain accurate results, it is necessary to correctly carry out the procedure and interpret the data obtained.
