Use of hepatobiliary scintigraphy in clinically normal cats

1994

Hepatobiliary scintigraphy provides a noninvasive assessment of hepatobiliary structure and function, and has been used extensively in people. Hepatocellular measurements determined in the cats of this study include cardiac washout (less than or equal to 2 minutes) and time of maximal hepatic activity (less than or equal to 5 minutes) and hepatic washout (less than or equal to 30 minutes). The gallbladder response to synthetic cholecystokinin was determined to be less than or equal to 3 minutes. Additional measurements also were identified. Potential use of hepatobiliary scintigraphy in feline medicine is discussed.
