Which one of the following hepatic lesions can be diagnosed with high accuracy by using nuclear imaging?: (A) Hepatocellular carcinoma, (B) Hepatic adenoma, (C) Focal nodular hyperplacia, (D) Cholangiocarcinoma
Answer is C. FNH contains both Kupffer cells and hepatocytes, and usually shows increased uptake of both Tc - 99m - SC and Tc - 99m - DISIDA. Therefore, FNH can be diagnose with high accuracy by using hepatic scintigraphy (nuclear imaging).
