Abstract
Compton scatter photons are generally considered problematic in nuclear medicine imaging. Therefore, efforts are being made to minimize the involvement of these photons by employing some special strategies in daily practice. Basically, photons scattering at a small angle and traveling in the proper direction stand a chance of getting recorded and thereby participate in the image formation. These photons may create artifactual hot spots in the vicinity of a region with high concentration of radioactivity. The present study focuses on the negative impact of such photons during routine imaging in clinical setting, through an artifact detected in technetium-99m-IDA hepatobiliary scintigraphy, with the purpose of highlighting this issue to the nuclear medicine practitioners.
