  • Title: Cholescintigraphy in the diagnosis of Rotor syndrome.
    Author: Fretzayas AM, Garoufi AI, Moutsouris CX, Karpathios TE.
    Journal: J Nucl Med; 1994 Jun; 35(6):1048-50. PubMed ID: 8195868.
    Abstract:
    In three patients with chronic conjugated hyperbilirubinemia who carried the diagnosis of Rotor syndrome, 99mTc-HIDA cholescintigraphy was performed. In these patients, the liver was either not visualized or it was seen very faintly with slow liver uptake, persistent visualization of the cardiac blood pool and prominent kidney excretion. The present observation emphasizes the contribution of cholescintigraphy in the diagnosis of Rotor syndrome.
