Abstract

Different techniques to obtain the most accurate and reliable method of proper patient positioning for hepatic scintiangiograms were investigated by this clinic. Neither the sole use of a lead-strip marker, palpation, nor percussion of the liver demonstrated enough accuracy for the proper patient positioning necessary to achieve a diagnostic liver flow study. Our experience, however, shows that the use of a flood tank for transmission scanning and a lead-strip rib marker for body landmark identification provides accurate, proper patient positioning.
