Objective: To evaluate the value of 99mTc-EHIDA hepatobiliary scintigraphy with different Liver/Kidney ratio (LKR) in the distinguish of infant persistent jaundice.
Methods: A total of 128 patients with infant persistent jaundice (45 females, with a mean age of 45.9 ± 23.4 d) underwent hepatobiliary scintigraphy were analyzed retrospectively. All patients were underwent to detecting their level of glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GT) before hepatobiliary scintigraphy. We drawn the outline of same size region of interest in the near right of liver (L) edge and left kidney (K) at the ten minites of hepatobiliary scintigraphy and calculated the ROI of liver to kidney ratios. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the threshold and calculate the sensitivity and specificity of γ-GT.
