[|AI|]  Welcome to the ChatDoctorA hepatobiliary (HIDE) scan is an imaging procedure used to diagnose problems in the liver, gallbladder and bile ducts.It's a useful investigation in neonate a suffering from obstructive jaundice as in your babies case. In the HIDE scan, a radioactive chemical or tracer is injected into a vein in the arm. The tracer is handled by the liver like bile. A special nuclear medicine scanner (gamma camera) tracks the flow of the tracer from the liver into your gallbladder and small intestine.It's good for your baby and the pain associated with the cannulation can be well handled with analgesia in NICU setup. So, don't worry and continue with the procedure. Take care
