Significant degrees of pancreatic dysfunction *Can also be used to evaluate obstructive jaundice, remove common bile duct stones and place biliary and pancreatic duct stents to bypass obstruction
What indicates the presence of a tumor?
Localized pancreatic duct narrowing

By intravenous IV injection of technetium and positioning patient under camera to record distribution of tracer in the liver biliary tree, gallbladder and proximal small bowel

Acute Cholecystitis [inflammation of gallbladder] *This procedure is superior o=to oral cholecystography, ultrasonography and computed tomography CT of abdomen for detection of acute Cholecystitis
