Nuclear Imaging of Hepatic Function in Liver Surgery and Transplantation
Surgery to remove part of the liver is important for treating liver cancer. Imaging, including nuclear medicine scans, helps measure how well the remaining liver will work. Portal Vein Embolization (PVE) can help the remaining liver grow. Because liver recovery varies, advanced imaging is essential for planning surgery and monitoring recovery.
