HEPATIQ WORKFLOW

The HEPATIQ test is ordered by clinical physicians such as hepatologists, gastroenterologists, interventional radiologists, liver surgeons, oncologists and internists.

The patient’s liver and spleen are imaged in a hospital radiology/nuclear medicine department or in an independent imaging center. The fed patient is injected with a low dose (about 5 mCi) standard Technicium-99m sulfur colloid solution. The patient is scanned for about 20 minutes and planar and SPECT images acquired. The images are analyzed by the HEPATIQ software and a report prepared for review by the radiologist or nuclear medicine physician. The reviewing physician’s dictation together with the HEPATIQ report is distributed to the ordering clinical physician.
