ABSTRACT

A 99mTc-labeled replacement for 131I-rose bengal in liver and biliary tract studies has been developed. This agent, 99mTc-labeled Hepato-Biliary ScintigraphinTM, is rapidly cleared from the plasma by the liver with close to 100% hepatic extraction efficiency, followed by nearly complete excretion of activity in bile. Its utility for studying liver, gallbladder, and biliary tract morphology and function are demonstrated.
