Is routine hepatic flow study cost effective? A case of hepatic cavernous hemangioma evaluated with dynamic flow study and delayed blood pool images.
A case of hepatic hemangioma was evaluated with radionuclide hepatic flow study, static scans, blood pool images, and angiography. The hemangioma appeared "avascular" on the hepatic flow study. Blood pool image with technetium 99m human-serum albumin was diagnostic in findings and quality for cavernous hemangioma.
