A 68-year-old man with hereditary hypercoagulability was referred to nuclear medicine for elevated aminotransferases after a recent living-donor liver transplant. A hepatic infarction was suspected. A Tc-mebrofenin SPECT/CT was performed and showed decreased radiotracer uptake in a wedge-shaped distribution in the anterior liver suggestive of a hepatic infarction. Subsequently, an enhanced MRI corroborated the diagnosis. Oral anticoagulation therapy was then initiated, and aminotransferases soon normalized.
