Hepatobiliary imaging in nuclear medicine can be accomplished with multiple different radiotracers to help evaluate the liver, gallbladder and the biliary ducts. The The choice of tracer depends on the clinical question.
Common tracers include
- Tc99m-IDA (iminodiacetic acid) analogues: most commonly used tracer; used for evaluation of the biliary system (e.g. HIDA scan)
- Tc99m-sulfur colloid
- Tc99m-RBC scan: older technique for evaluation of liver haemangiomas
- Ga67 and Xe133 can also be used in some situations
