Technetium Mebrofenin
Technetium mebrofenin (99mTc-mebrofenin) is a high-extraction hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid radiopharmaceutical used for HIDA scintigraphy to evaluate hepatic function, gallbladder function, and biliary excretion with high liver-to-background contrast. It is particularly useful in patients with elevated bilirubin levels where other IDA agents may have insufficient hepatic extraction. It is used to diagnose acute cholecystitis, assess pre-operative liver function, and detect biliary leaks.
