Uptake of technetium-99m DISIDA by bone metastasis from a hepatoma

Clin Nucl Med. 1988 Apr;13(4):280-2. doi: 10.1097/00003072-198804000-00012.

Abstract

Uptake of Tc-99m DISIDA in a bone metastasis from a hepatoma located at the humeral head is reported. Previous literature has only shown extrahepatic uptake of hepatobiliary agents in cases of lung metastases from hepatocellular carcinoma. The use of imaging with biliary tracers can increase the diagnostic specificity when bone metastases from hepatoma are suspected.
