A member asked:

Had hida scan that showed smoothly marginated large area of photopenia involving the liver dome. us was ok, but before hida. should more be done?

Radiologist: In cases like this I believe that your physician should sit down with the radiologist who interpreted your studies and ask what the different possibilities are, what further studies,if any, would be advisable and whether referral to a specialist(hepatologist or surgeon), or repeating the same study in the future are indicated..
