INTRODUCTION
![Page 3: Mebrofenin scintigraphy in bile disorders](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/558ba965d8b42a33568b4577/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Hepatobiliary scintigraphy evaluates hepatocellular function and the biliary system by tracing the production and flow of bile from the formative phase in the liver, and its passage through the biliary system into the small intestine.

Biokinetic features of Tc-99m mebrofenin and Tc-99m disofenin
![Page 9: Mebrofenin scintigraphy in bile disorders](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/558ba965d8b42a33568b4577/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Albumin delivers the radiotracer to the space of Disse. Tc-99m HIDA is taken up by the hepatocyte and secreted into bile canaliculi in free form where it mixes with the hepatic bile and serves as an ideal in vivo tracer for imaging of the entire hepatobiliary tree

Positioning:
◦patient supine ◦camera anterior ◦liver in upper left quadrant of field of view
![Page 14: Mebrofenin scintigraphy in bile disorders](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/558ba965d8b42a33568b4577/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
PHARMACOLOGIC INTERVENTIONS
![Page 15: Mebrofenin scintigraphy in bile disorders](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/558ba965d8b42a33568b4577/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Cholecystokinin:◦If patient is NPO for many hours, GB becomes
inactive, may be full of bile or sludge and so may not visualize. CCK is used to contract gallbladder so that visualization of bowel may occur after refilling
◦0.02 µg/ kg body wt. slow IV ◦Contraindication: recent positive ultrasound
examination for gallstones.
![Page 16: Mebrofenin scintigraphy in bile disorders](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/558ba965d8b42a33568b4577/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Morphine Sulphate :
◦When acute cholecystitis is suspected and the gallbladder is not seen by 30–60 min, 0.04 mg/kg morphine sulfate may be administered slow I.V.
◦If the cystic duct is patent, flow of bile into the gallbladder will be facilitated by morphine-induced temporary spasm of the sphincter of Oddi
◦Imaging is continued for another 30–60 min after morphine administration.
![Page 17: Mebrofenin scintigraphy in bile disorders](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/558ba965d8b42a33568b4577/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
◦Imaging after morphine injection distinguishes between acute [no visualization] and chronic [eventual visualization] cholecystitis.
◦Contraindications: increased intracranial pressure in children respiratory depression in non-ventilated patients allergic to morphine history of pancreatitis
![Page 18: Mebrofenin scintigraphy in bile disorders](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/558ba965d8b42a33568b4577/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Phenobarbital ◦5 mg/ kg/day in two equally divided doses, for
5–7 days prior to cholescintigraphy.
◦Phenobarbital stimulates bile production and increases the secretion of the radiotracer into bile, enabling better delineation of bile ducts and duodenum in infants with neonatal hepatitis, but not in those with congenital biliary atresia
![Page 19: Mebrofenin scintigraphy in bile disorders](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/558ba965d8b42a33568b4577/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
INTERPRETATION

Normal Results
◦Visualization of liver 5–15 seconds after injection◦hepatic and common bile duct and gallbladder 5–
60 minutes.◦Intestinal activity within 10–60 minutes
◦Gallbladder filling implies a patent cystic duct and excludes acute cholecystitis with a high degree of certainty

Causes of enterogastric reflux
Spontaneously in ~8% post op.
◦vagotomy, ◦hemigastrectomy◦Bilroth II gastrojejunostomy
![Page 42: Mebrofenin scintigraphy in bile disorders](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/558ba965d8b42a33568b4577/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
pathophysiologymechanism of reflux is related to the lack of
normally functioning gallbladder. In the absence of the usual storage of bile
with release on cholecystokinin (CCK) stimulation, the patient develops a constant drip of bile into the duodenum.
After meals there is a postdigestive phase of food leaving the stomach, mixing with the bile pancreatic and duodenal secretions, and all being swept downstream in the normal fashion
![Page 43: Mebrofenin scintigraphy in bile disorders](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/558ba965d8b42a33568b4577/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Two hours after a meal and especially during extended periods of fast, e.g., during sleep, the bile pools in the duodenum, most going downstream and some refluxing backward through the pylorus into the antrum.
In time, the presence of the biliary pancreatic duodenal secretions in the stomach produces such an irritant effect that significant gastritis and esophagitis result.
![Page 44: Mebrofenin scintigraphy in bile disorders](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/558ba965d8b42a33568b4577/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
criteria for the diagnosis of reflux gastritis: ◦constant burning epigastric pain◦worse after meals◦unrelieved by antacids and diet◦endoscopic demonstration of a gastric bile pool◦endoscopic biopsy proof of gastritis and
esophagitis◦hypochlorhydria.

treatment
Medical:◦Bland diet◦Metoclopromide
Surgical:◦Roux-en-Y drainage of the biliary system and
Braun enteroenterostomy (BEE)
![Page 46: Mebrofenin scintigraphy in bile disorders](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/558ba965d8b42a33568b4577/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Dose Range
◦Adults: 3–5 mCi higher doses (upto 15 mCi) for patients with
elevated bilirubin levels (causes less hepatic uptake, more background activity, and greater renal excretion).
◦For children: 0.05–0.07 mCi per kg minimum dose = 0.3 mCi
![Page 47: Mebrofenin scintigraphy in bile disorders](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/558ba965d8b42a33568b4577/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Ensure patient

Explain the procedure; usually runs ~1 hour but baseline studies can go as long as 4 hours with up to 24-hour delays required in some instances.

Computer acquisition and analysis, including pharmacologic interventions, are used according to varying indications and an individual patient’s needs.
