Visualization of the kidneys during hepatobiliary scintigraphy using technetium-99m(Tc) labeled N -substituted iminodiacetic acid agents is often the consequence of severe hepatic dysfunction or biliary tract obstruction {}-3). We report a case of delayed renal visualization seen during hepatobiliary imaging with [Tc]diisopropyl-iminodiacetic acid (DISIDA) where no evidence for severe hepatic d...

Hepatobiliary radionuclide imaging is typically performed to assess the acute or chronic cholecystitis. Occasionally, initial 1 h imaging reveals an obstructive pattern of radiopharmaceutical distribution with non-visualization of the hepatic or extra-hepatic (EH) bile ducts, gallbladder and small intestinal activity. One hundred and thirty five infants under 12 months of age (65 females and 70...

Hepatobilillry scintigraphy has been recognized as u useful tool in detecting the presence and sites of bile leaks. The clinical settings in which bile leaks are likely to occur, as weU as some of the scintigraphic patterns seen in patients with bile leaks, are reviewed here. lips for technologists are offered on interventions that might enhance the quality of information available to the nucle...
